[Intro]
Em
[Verse]
EmI cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors
B7I screamed his name till the neighbors called the cops
EmI numbed the pain at the expense of my liver
Don't B7know what I did next all I know, I couldn't Emstop
EmWord got around to the barflies and the baptists
B7My mama's phone started ringin' off the hook
EmI can hear her now sayin' she ain't gonna have it
Don't B7matter how you feel, it only matters how you Emlook
[Chorus]
Go and Emfix your make up girl, it's just a break up
Run an' B7hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady
'Cause I Emraised you better, gotta keep it together
Even B7when you fall apart, but this ain't my mama's broken Emheart
[Verse]
EmI wish I could be just a little less dramatic
Like a KB7ennedy when Camelot went down in flames
EmLeave it to me to be holdin' the matches
When the B7fire trucks show up and there's nobody else to Emblame
EmCan't get revenge and keep a spotless reputation
B7Sometimes revenge is a choice you gotta make
EmMy mama came from a softer generation
Where you B7get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little fEmace
[Chorus]
Go and Emfix your make up girl, it's just a break up
Run an' B7hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady
'Cause I Emraised you better, gotta keep it together
Even B7when you fall apart, but this ain't my mama's broken Emheart
[Bridge]
EmPowder 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
[Chorus]
Go and Emfix your make up girl, well, it's just a break up
Run an' B7hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady
'Cause I Emraised you better, gotta keep it together
Even B7when you fall apart, but this ain't my mama's broken Emheart

[Intro]

[Verse]

I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors

I screamed his name till the neighbors called the cops

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

Word got around to the barflies and the baptists

My mama's phone started ringin' off the hook

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

[Chorus]

Go and fix your make up girl, it's just a break up

Run an' hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady

'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

[Verse]

I wish I could be just a little less dramatic

Like a Kennedy when Camelot went down in flames

Leave it to me to be holdin' the matches

B7 Em

When the fire trucks show up and there's nobody else to blame

Can't get revenge and keep a spotless reputation

Sometimes revenge is a choice you gotta make

My mama came from a softer generation

B7 Em

Where you get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little face

[Chorus]

Go and fix your make up girl, it's just a break up

Run an' hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady

'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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

Go and fix your make up girl, well, it's just a break up

Run an' hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady

'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
