Introduction: Em
Em
I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors
B7
I screamed his name till the neighbors called the cops
Em
I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver
B7 Em
Don' t know what I did next all I know, I couldn' t stop
Em
Word got around to the barflies and the baptists
B7
My mama' s phone started ringin' off the hook
Em
I can hear her now sayin' she ain' t gonna have it
B7 Em
Don' t matter how you feel, it only matters how you look
Em
Go and fix your make up girl, it' s just a break up
B7
Run an' hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady
Em
' Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
B7 Em
Even when you fall apart, but this ain' t my mama' s broken heart
Em
I wish I could be just a little less dramatic
B7
Like a Kennedy when Camelot went down in flames
Em
Leave it to me to be holdin' the matches
B7 Em
When the fire trucks show up and there' s nobody else to blame
Em
Can' t get revenge and keep a spotless reputation
B7
Sometimes revenge is a choice you gotta make
Em
My mama came from a softer generation
B7 Em
Where you get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little face
Em
Go and fix your make up girl, it' s just a break up
B7
Run an' hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady
Em
' Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
B7 Em
Even when you fall apart, but this ain' t my mama' s broken heart
Em
Powder your nose, paint your toes, line your lips and keep ' em closed
Cross your legs, dot your I' s, and never let ' em see you cry
Em
Go and fix your make up girl, well, it' s just a break up
B7
Run an' hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady
Em
' Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
B7 Em
Even when you fall apart, but this ain' t my mama' s broken heart
