[C]
I’m used to [C]opening my own doors and splitting the checks
The introduced me was always just a [F]friend
I bought a new dress he never [C]noticed
Always [C]falling for these bad boys such a challenge
I’m getting tired of cleaning up after [F]them
I think I’m ready to be a [C]woman


Oh [G]love, I think I’m [F]ready, ready for [C]it


[C]You were such a surprise an unexpected gift
Said I was pretty and I believed [F]it
Not really used to all this [C]attention
Told [C]myself I don’t deserve you
And this is just a phase
Could I get used to being loved the right [F]way
I want to argue but there is nothing to [C]say


Oh [G]love, I think I’m [F]ready ready for [C]it ready for it
Oh [G]love I think I’m [F]ready


‘Cause [F]you send me flowers when there’s no occasion
Yeah [Am]we talk for hours you still want to listen
Won’t [Dm]hold it against me if I just need you to [G#]hold me [C]tonight


My [C]mother always told me that you’d show up one day
(hold) (So scared) to feel this way


But [G]love, I think I’m [F]ready ready for [C]it ready for it
Oh [G]love I think I’m [F]ready
Oh [G]love I think I’m [F]ready
