Verse 1

C

I was s’posed to be sent away

G

But they forgot to come and get me

I was a functioning alcoholic

F

‘Til nobody noticed my new aesthetic

G

But you’re the reason

Am

And no one here’s to blame

F

But what about your quiet treason?

And for a fortnight there, we were forever

G

Run into you sometimes, ask about the weather

Am

Now you’re in my backyard, turned into good neighbors

F

Your wife waters flowers, I wanna kill her

My husband is cheating, I wanna kill him

I love you, it’s ruining my life

But I’m coming right now

And I’m bringing you

All my pennies and my lipstick
