Note (slide pattern): At the "fuck that guy he's just an asshole" line there's a little slide starting at Gm and then sliding down 2 frets then 1 more fret than 2 more frets than 2 more frets than 1 more fret than one more fret. That's the only way I know how to explain it sorry. Or I guess you could just play Gm the whole line. If you listen to the song though you'll hopefully understand it. I'll put "(slide pattern)" in the song where you play it.
First verse:
F Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet C Got the sugary me all stuffed up in my sleeve Gm And I talk of ponies and rainbows and things Bb And I'm just who you want me to be
F But like most creatures down here on the ground C I'm composed of the elements moving around Gm I grow and change and I shift and I switch Bb And it turns out I'm actually kind of a bitch
C But that only happens when I get provoked Gm By some piece of shit asshole we all sadly know C And I sit and I write while reminding you all Bb That mean songs are still better than going postal
Chorus: F And that guy's an asshole C That girl's a bitch Gm Baby it's natural Bb No getting away from it F So sing it out with me C And then let it go Gm (slide pattern) Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole FCGmBb Asshole....asshole
Second Verse:
F I see I've surprised you with some of my words C And I know that surprises, while fun, still can hurt Gm And I hate to think that I've ruined the day Bb Of the dick and the queen of the high horse parade
F But I'm sick and tired of your poisonous ways C You're a toxin
Wasting perfectly good space Gm And I say what I think Bb 'Cause it's more economic
Than drugs or a drink
Chorus:
F And that guy's an asshole C That girl's a bitch Gm Baby it's natural Bb No getting away from it F So sing it out with me C And then let it go Gm (slide pattern) Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole
Bridge:
BbAm No I won't let him in, under my skin GmFAm He's a sad sack of shit, it's pathetic BbAm Just a festering sore GmC Who will never be more if I don't let him
Chorus:
F That guy's an asshole C That girl's a bitch Gm Baby it's natural Bb No getting away from it F So sing it out with me C And then let it go Gm (slide pattern) Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole
