Tom: Am
[Intro] Am E Am E
[Verse 1]
Am
I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors
E
I screamed his name til the neighbors called the cops
Am
I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver
E Am(1 strum, then mute)
Dont know what I did next, I just know I couldnt stop
[Verse 2]
Am
Word got around to the barflies and the baptists
E
My mamas phone started ringin off the hook
Am
I can hear her now sayin she aint gonna have it
E Am
Dont matter how you feel, it only matters how you look
[Chorus]
Am
Go and fix your make up, girl, its just a break up
E
Run and hide your crazy and start actin like a lady
Am
Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
E
Even when you fall apart
E Am
But this aint my mamas broken heart
[Verse 3]
Am
Wish I could be just a little less dramatic
E
Like a Kennedy when Camelot went down in flames
Am
Leave it to me to be holdin the matches
E Am
When the fire trucks show up and theres nobody else to blame
[Verse 4]
Am
Cant get revenge and keep a spotless reputation
E
Sometimes revenge is just a choice you gotta make
Am
My mama came from a softer generation
E Am
Where you get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little face
[Chorus]
Am
Go and fix your make up, girl, its just a break up
E
Run and hide your crazy and start actin like a lady
Am
Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
E
Even when you fall apart
E Am
But this aint my mamas broken heart
[Solo] Am E Am E
[Bridge]
Am (for the entire bridge)
Powder your nose, paint your toes
Line your lips and keep em closed
Cross your legs, dot your eyes
And never let em see you cry
[Chorus]
Am
Go and fix your make up, girl, its just a break up
E
Run and hide your crazy and start actin like a lady
Am
Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
E
Even when you fall apart
E Am
But this aint my mamas broken heart
