  			D 
He's a giver, he'll give her 
                           A 
The kind of attention that she's never known 
A 
He's a teacher, he'll teach her 
                           D 
To open the doors that she can't on her own 
D 
He's a lover, he'll love her 
                                G 
in ways that she never has been loved before 
           A 
And he's a getter, he'll get her 
                                                  D 
By gettin her into the world she's been hungerin' for 
D 
He's a charmer, and he'll charm her 
                            A 
With money and manners that I never learned 
 
He's a leader, and he'll lead her 
                           D 
Across pretty bridges he's planning to burn 
D 
He's a talker, he'll talk her 
                             G 
Right of of her feet, but he won't talk for long 
             A 
Cause he's a doer, and he'll do her 
 
The way that I never 
                             D 
And damned if he won't do her wrong 
            G 
And he's a taker, he'll take her 
                                                   A 
To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to 
 
He'll take his time before takin' advantage 
                    D 
Takin' her easy and slow 
G 
And after he's taken her body and soul 
                                       A 
That she gives him, he'll take her for granted 
 
Then he'll take off and leave her 
                              D 
Takin' all of her pride as he goes
