Verse 
     Em 
Private school girls, private school boys: 
   D               A 
Playing games, expensive toys 
      Em 
Private school girls, private school boys: 
     D               A 
Don DeLillo wrote White Noise 
    Em                                D                  A 
I tried so hard to find an in but you weren't giving me anything 
  Em                    D            A 
Come on now throw me a line...it's a sign 
 
       D                  G        
Ah, fuck off: don't say I'd do the same 
       D                  G       
Getting off without an ounce of shame 
       D                  G        
And you know, I just want to love you...but it's so hard 
       D                  G     
Just want to love you...but it's so hard 
 
Verse 
  Em

The nicest skin, the nicest curls 
   Em 
Private boys boys, private school girls: 
     D            A 
Gimme a chance, gimme a whirl 
     Em 
You walked in, my jaw hit the floor 
    D             A 
You act like this is such a chore 
    Em            D 
Around you i feel like swine: 
   A 
You're divine 
 
 
       D                  G        
Ah, fuck off: don't say I'd do the same 
       D                  G        
Getting off without an ounce of shame 
       D                  G        
And you know, I just want to love you...but it's so hard 
       D                  G     
Just want to love you...but it's so hard
