Lyrics

Bodyguard

She says she wants to go to California
That’s where all the beautiful people are
drinking martini’s and taking business meetings
on Hollywood Boulevard

She doesnt want to be in Oklahoma
She says, “Nobody understands me here.”
I feel like the sky might swallow me alive
And no one would even care

D
She cries, “Nobody listens to me.”
F#m
My Mom always staring at the TV
E F#m E
I bet my dad will wanna know me
D E D
i’ll be such a big star, he’ll wanna be my bodyguard
i’ll be such a big star, he’ll wanna be my bodyguard

She says’s I’m taking private singing lessons
Maybe I could learn the guitar
In 2nd grade I played an elephant
It was really that hard CH

She takes a selfie and she says, “I’m so tired,”
getting high’s the only way that I can go to sleep
remind me to get a pipe at the liquor store (F#m)
you can hold my hand as we walk down the street
like we’re in a movie and we’re walking down the beach
