Intro:

Verse 1:
D
She plays 'Wipeout' on the drums,
Dmaj7
The squirrels and the birds come,
Em
Gather round to sing the guitar.
Gmaj7 D
Oh I, have you got nothing to say?
Verse 2:
D
When all words fail she speaks,
Dmaj7
Her mix tapes a masterpiece,
Em
Walks through the garden,
So the roses can see,
Gmaj7 D
Oh I, have you got nothing to say?
Chorus 1:
F#m7
And you can see,
F7 Em7
The daisies in her footsteps.
G6 Edim
Dande-lions, butter-flies,
I wanna be:
D
Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate.
Verse 3:
D
Every-day she wears the same thing,
Dmaj7
I think she smokes pot,
Em
She's everything I want,
She's everything I'm not.
Gmaj7 D
Oh I, have you got nothing to say?
Chorus 1:
F#m7
She never gets wet,
F7 Em7
She smiles and it's a rainbow,
G6 Edim
And she speaks and she breathes,
D
I wanna be Kate.
