Dm        Bb          Dm
Da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
         Bb       Dm
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
      Bb
Da-da-da-da-da-da


[Verse 1]
Dm            Bb              Dm            Bb
  She was too young to be the Hollywood type
Dm            Bb             Dm              Bb
  Too pure to understand the lows and the highs
Dm           Bb              Dm           Bb
  She didn't know if she was gonna survive
Dm           Bb      Dm          Bb
  It all got so much better with time


[Pre-Chorus]
           Dm       Bb
All of the evil eyes
          Dm          Bb
Tequila before sunrise
                Dm            Bb
I'd tell her to watch her back
           Dm
That she's worth more than that


[Chorus]
       Dm        Bb               Dm
'Cause she was a girl with good intentions
          Bb              Dm
Yeah, she made some bad decisions
        Bb               Dm
And she learned a couple lessons
     Bb
Wish I could tell her
Dm        Bb                Dm
She was a girl with good intentions
       Bb              Dm
Didn't need the second-guessing
       Bb           Dm
Didn't need to ever question

Wish I could tell her


[Verse 2]
Dm           Bb              Dm                 Bb
  She didn't know all of the hurt she could take
Dm              Bb            Dm              Bb
  Her world was crumbling and so was her faith
Dm             Bb                 Dm              Bb
  Wish I could talk to her 'cause what I would say
Dm                  Bb               Dm                Bb
  "Oh baby, you're enough to get you out of this place"


[Pre-Chorus]
           Dm             Bb
All of the flashing lights
           Dm         Bb
Tequila before sunrise
                Dm            Bb
I'd tell her to watch her back
                 Dm
That she's worth more than that


[Chorus]
       Dm        Bb               Dm
'Cause she was a girl with good intentions
          Bb              Dm
Yeah, she made some bad decisions
        Bb               Dm
And she learned a couple lessons
     Bb
Wish I could tell her
Dm        Bb                Dm
She was a girl with good intentions
       Bb              Dm
Didn't need the second-guessing
       Bb           Dm
Didn't need to ever question

Wish I could tell her


[Post-Chorus]
Dm        Bb          Dm
Da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
      Bb          Dm
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
      Bb
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Dm
  I tried to tell her


[Bridge]
Dm  Bb Dm  Bb
(Ah)
Dm                          Bb               Dm
I know you'll get the chance to find who you are
  Dm                   Bb                        Dm
I know you'll have the choice before it gets too dark
Dm  Bb Dm  Bb
(Ah)
Dm                          Bb               Dm
I know you'll get the chance to find who you are
  Dm                   Bb
I know you'll have the choice


[Chorus]
Dm        Bb               Dm
She was a girl with good intentions
          Bb               Dm
Yeah, she made some bad decisions
        Bb               Dm
And she learned a couple lessons (Hey)
     Bb
Wish I could tell her
Dm        Bb               Dm
She was a girl with good intentions (Wish I could show you)
       Bb              Dm
Didn't need the second-guessing (Wish I could show you)
       Bb           Dm
Didn't need to ever question

Wish I could tell her


[Outro]
Dm        Bb          Dm
Da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da (Wish I could show you)
