I..... said what you wanted to hear, and what
I..... wanted to say, so I will take it
Back..... are all of the dishes in tact? Let them
Be.... broken. Broken.
(Repeat second part of intro between verses)
You've done me no..... favors to call and be nice, telling me
I..... can take anything I
Like..... You don't owe me to be so polite, you've done no
Wrong..... you've done no wrong. Get out of my sight (F#)
