[Verse 1]
Em               Bm
You say that I’m wasting my time,
              D                            A
Cause I don’t wanna have the life that you do,
Em              Bm
You tell me I’m crossing the line,
              D                            A
Cause I don’t wanna fall in line with your views,
    Em      Bm
No, I won’t sit here looking pretty for the,
D            A
Photo, won’t wait for you to save me, while you ,
Em           Bm
You tell I’m lost and confused,
              D                        A
Cause I’m not listening to all of your rules.
 
 
[Chorus]
            Em
We might be young,
            Bm
We might be reckless,
           D
So fucking what,
              A
That’s how we are.
             Em
Our ears are numb,
               Bm
To what you’re saying,
           D
We fall in love,
          A
You fall apart.
Em                   Bm
You tell us we ain’t good enough,
D                       A
When really you’re just out of touch,
            Em
We might be young,
            Bm
We might be too much,
              D                 
But we’re not gonna shut up and smile for the camera.
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Em             Bm                           D                      A
I’m sorry that you’re so afraid of just how comfortable I am in my skin,
Em              Bm                            D                           A
You hate on the choices I make, but who’s the one that’s really living in sin,
   Em       Bm                              D          A                      Em
No I won’t, sit here looking pretty for the photo, I’m done being a lady with you,
               Bm
If you want me zipping my lips then,
     D                        
Baby I’d rather be known as that bitch.
 
 
[Chorus]
            Em
We might be young,
            Bm
We might be reckless,
           D
So fucking what,
              A
That’s how we are.
             Em
Our ears are numb,
               Bm
To what you’re saying,
           D
We fall in love,
          A
You fall apart.
Em                   Bm
You tell us we ain’t good enough,
     D                  A
When really you’re just out of touch,
            Em
We might be young,
            Bm
We might be too much,
              D                 
But we’re not gonna shut up and smile for the camera.
