[Chorus]
     C                     F       G
The tide is high, but I'm holding on.

I'm gonna be your number one.

I'm not the kind of girl,
F             G         C
Who gives up just like that.
    F    G
Oh, no, oh
 
[Verse 1]
     C                                     F       G
It's not the things you do that tease and hurt me bad,
 C                                     F      G
But it's the way you do the things you do to me.

Oh, no, oh.

[Verse 2]
 C                      F       G
Every girl wants you to be her man,
C                                  F   G
But I'll wait right here 'til it's my turn.
 C                        F            G         C
I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that.

Oh, no, oh.

  Every time that I get the feeling,
G                       A
  You give me something to believe in.
D
  Every time that I got you near me,
G                        A
  I know the way that I want it to be.
D
  But you know, I'm gonna take my chance now,
G                    A
  I'm gonna make it happen somehow.
D
  And you know I can take the pressure,
   G                   A
A moment's pain for a lifetime's pleasure.
