I heard that you heard
Em
That I was writing songs about you
C7M D
That I was bad mouthin' your name
Em
In some shitty bar somewhere
C7M D Em
You know how I love these biased, one-sided conversations
C7M D Em
So let's discuss the whos, the whys, the whens, the hows, the wheres
But who really cares?

C7M
I wanna know why

Why'd you have to make a record 'bout me?

C7M D
And I remember her bent over
Em
And knowing that it was the last time
C7M D
You know the end is near
Em
If she only lets you fuck at night
C7M D
And when she finally came, even though she faked it
Em
It was much appreciated
C7M D
At least she had the decency
Em
To try to make a sound she thought I'd like
But it's alright

Yeah, I heard your song
But I wasn't impressed
D
So you got your feelings hurt
Now you're feeling depressed
Em
Just because we had sex and it didn't last
Now you want revenge, you want to put me on blast?
C7M
Don't make me laugh
Remember all those girls you played?
D
And all the lies you told back in the day to get laid?
Em
An excuse for Suze
You got a story for Lori
C7M
So yeah, it's nothing that you didn't do first
D
The only difference is, you probably did it worse
Em
So look at the big bad soldier
Declaring holy war on every girl who didn't mean to fuck him over
C7M
But karma's a bitch for hypocrites who kiss and tell
D
And talk shit about girls who only wished him well
Em
So if you wanna chat
Then stick to the facts
