BmShe’s wearing too much lipstick tonight
ALittle black dress a little too tight
DTries to make small talk but it drips with sG6pite
She F#mknows that he’s coming; it’s really alright
BmNobody here could know how she feels
ANot getting drunk and she hates wearing heels
DTries to stand, but the room seems to bend and reG6el
F#mHer friends all keep asking why can't she just deal
[Chorus]
If she spins Cfast enough then Dm7maybe the broken Gpieces of her heart will stay together
But aAm7in’t no gyroscope Dm7can spin Gforever, yeah!
