[Intro]

[Chorus]

                        A
Go on and swing for the fences
                   E
Take a shot at the moon
                 A
A dandelion that dances
                         
Takes chances and fancies 
                          E
every little light in the room
 
 
[Verse]

      D
Don't hold your 

shoulders like a high school dance
 
A white flag holder in a hopeless romance
G
Red light kids crossing over the line
 
Breaking step with the times,

 driving cars through the signs
     D
Be a heartbeat cannon in a quiet spot
 
A white picket fence in a parking lot
       G
It's a long game and 

they're gonna tΠ΅ll you it's not
 
They're high-five dodgΠ΅rs
                         A
And, baby, they don't deserve you
 
 
[Refrain]

          Bm
Beautiful you
     D           A
They got nothing on you
                     Bm
Yeah, I'm talking to you
               D
Get out of the blue
     A              E
They got nothing on you
 
 
[Chorus]

                        A
Go on and swing for the fences, oh, yeah
                   E
Take a shot at the moon
                 A
A dandelion that dances
                          
Takes chances and fancies 
                          E
every little light in the room
 
 
[Verse]

     D
Be a heartbeat cannon in a quiet spot
 
A white picket fence in a parking lot
       G
It's a long game and 

they're gonna tell you it's not
 
They're high-five dodgers
                         A
And, baby, they don't deserve you
 
 
[Refrain]

          Bm
Beautiful you
     D           A
They got nothing on you
                     Bm
Yeah, I'm talking to you
               D
Get out of the blue
     A              E
They got nothing on you
