Well, he told me

He doesn't want a crazy girl, too obsessive
Just like his exes

I said I get it
Let's take it slow, see where it goes

There's no commitment, I'm different

But the way he kissed me goodnight

Made me never wanna say goodbye

'Cause I'm picking out a white dress and picket fences

Heard he's got a little bit of family money

Trust me, didn't know he had a trust fund, honey

I can't wait for our second date

Till then I'll be spending time naming our dogs and babies

How to play "Nothin' Crazy" on guitar
[Capo and Intro]
- Place the capo on the 2nd fret. This will allow you to use
open chord shapes while matching the original key.
- The intro features a simple fingerstyle riff on the G chord.
Practice the hammer-on from the open A string to the 2nd fret
and the open D string pick for a rhythmic feel.
[Verse Strumming]
- Use a light strumming pattern for the verses, focusing on
downstrokes to keep it mellow.
- Transition between G and C chords smoothly, allowing the
lyrics to stand out.
[Pre-Chorus Build-up]
- Increase the dynamic as you move into the pre-chorus with
Am, Bm, C, and D chords. This builds tension leading into
the chorus.
[Chorus Intensity]
- The chorus is the highlight; use a mix of down and up
strums to create a more filled-out sound.
- Emphasize transitions between G, Em, D, and Am for
emotional impact, reflecting the lyrics' playful yet
forward nature.
[Break Section]
- The break after the second chorus introduces a dialogue-like
section. Use Am, G, C, and D to underscore this intimate
moment.
- Keep strumming soft and controlled here to let the
conversational lyrics shine.
[Outro Technique]
- End with a repeat of the intro riff to bring the song full
circle.
- Maintain a gentle touch to echo the song's whimsical but
reflective ending.
Common mistakes:
- Overplaying the intro riff. Keep it simple and let the
melody breathe.
- Forgetting to increase dynamics in the chorus. This section
should feel more intense and filled with anticipation.
