The Girl Isn't Ready - Graham Parker

pre>intro

A f#m

The girl isn’t ready (twice)

A f#m

The girl isn’t ready is what her mother says

A f#m

We just put her toys away it seems like yesterday

E d She has seen something better through the window

E d She will reach for it even though she doesn’t know if she’s

A f#m

Ready, the girl isn’t ready

A f#m

We can never tell her how to take it steady

A e d a She’ll be re a dy one day i know

A f#m

The girl isn’t ready (twice)

The girl isn’t ready to do what she wants to do We think that her boyfriend’s like something from a zoo

She thinks that she understands what she’s feeling

She’s going to leave us make no mistake the wounds won’t be healing

Chorus then instrumental over e d e d f#m f#m

The girl isn’t ready sure she thinks she is She walks like a grownup but talks just like a kid

She wants to take on the world and his brother

Next thing you know she’ll be telling us that she’s a mother
