Capo 2 
DCadd9G
   x2
D              Cadd9
I shined your shoes
              G
I poured the wine
                          DCadd9G
(G)                         
I gave you all of my time
D               Cadd9
I patched your fake smile
                G
Against your friends
                            DCadd9G
(G)                           
Which apparently is a crime
D           Cadd9
I gave you space
              G
You took my place
                   DCadd9G
(G)                  
And gave it to her
D               Cadd9
But life's too long
             G                D Cadd9 G
To waste it all loving a liar
          Cadd9*
And when love hands me matches now
                       D Cadd9 G
I'm gonna burn it down
D            Cadd9
I keyed her car
         G
Got my guitar
                         DCadd9G
(G)                        
And wrote this damn song
D                 Cadd9
Look what you've found
             G
She's been around
                      DCadd9G
(G)                     
I hear the lines long
D              Cadd9
And don't you tell me
        G
To be nice
                    DCadd9G
(G)                   
I'm not a nice girl
D                 Cadd9
She died from complications
G                         D Cadd9 G
Of the things you told her
         Cadd9*
So when love hands me matches now
                       D Cadd9 G
I'm gonna burn it down
Em7 G Em7 G A
D          Cadd9
Ain't it funny
           G
You said honey
                       D Cadd9 G
You meant sitting duck
     D               Cadd9           G
Well i say cheater, liar, truck on fire, 
(G)
loser, leaver, deceiver
                           D Cadd9 G
Just a few I've thought of 
          Cadd9*
And when love hands me matches now
                   D Cadd9 G
'Gonna burn it down
                   DCadd9G
(G)                  
I'm gonna burn it down
(G)
Oh yeah
        D               Cadd9       G
Gonna burn it, burn it, burn it down
            D
