Am
I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors,
E
I screamed his name till the neighbors called the cops,
Am
I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver.
E Amstrum
Don't know what I did next, I just know I couldn't stop.
Am
Word got around to the barflies and the Baptists,
E
My mama's phone started ringin' off the hook.
Am
I can hear her now sayin' she ain't gonna have it.
E Am
Don't matter how you feel, it only matters how you look.
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 ain't my mama's broken heart.
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 there's nobody else to blame.
Am
Can't get revenge and keep a spotless reputation.
E
Sometimes revenge is just a choice you gotta make.

My mama came from a softer generation
E Am
Where you get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little face.

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 ain't my mama's broken heart

Powder your nose, paint your toes,
Line your lips and keep 'em closed,

Even when you fall apart
E Am
But this ain't my mama's broken heart.
