Andrew Barth Feldman - Every Pretty Girl

D
I live between distractions
D
I always make a mess
D
They say it isn’t perfect
D
But I won’t settle for less
G D
Oh I don’t know where to go
D
My obsession is my power
D
It’s my greatest weakness, too
D
I’m obsessed with every moment
D
And I’m obsessed with you
G D
But I don’t know where to go
A Bm
And I’m scared that I don’t know what you are
A D
The morning or the evening star
G
Are you someone that I’ve always missed
D
Or something added to my list
G
‘Cause I’m trying to do good in this world
Gm
But I’m stuck here crying
D
Over every pretty girl

D G D

D
I take on a million problems
D
It’s never been enough
D
‘Cause I don’t know how to slow down
D
And I’m much too quick to trust
G D
Oh I don’t know where to go
D
But you say that I can trust you
D
That you’re where my path has led
D
You say that you’ll be just mine
D
Or maybe that’s just in my head
G D
Oh I don’t know where to go
A Bm
And I don’t know if I have any time
A D
Or if you’d even want to be mine
G
Or if I need to focus on what’s true
D
Or if I was meant to be with you
G
My life has always been a swirl
Gm
And the eye of the storm is
D
Every pretty girl
D7 Bm
Every pretty girl
C G7
Every pretty girl
D
But maybe you’re the one I’m meant for

Or maybe that is just a myth

But maybe with you I’ll be happy

Or maybe happy don’t exist

Maybe I’m just meant to stay here

And pine away the days

Maybe I’m just meant to sit back

And watch you slip away
G
Maybe you’re the key I’ve needed

And the door I’m looking for
D
Maybe you’re what’s on the other side of that door
G
And maybe there’s no next step

There may be none at all
D
Maybe if you don’t catch me

Then I’ll just fall
G
Maybe I’ll never be happy

Is that how the story goes
D
Or maybe this is all just pointless
G A D
‘Cause I’m just too young to know
A Bm
‘Cause I’m scared but that’s what I’m s’posed to be
A D
I’m blind but I don’t need to see
G
Maybe I’ll slow down and see it through
D
Focus more on me and less on you
G
If I just sit and watch my tale unfurl
Gm
Maybe I’ll stop dreaming
D
Of every pretty girl
