Intro: F C Gm C
F
Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet
C
Got the sugary me all stuffed up in my sleeve
Eb
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
And 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 C
That mean songs are still better than going postal (pause)
CHORUS:

Bb C
No getting away from it

Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole
C

C

F
I see I've surprised you with some of my words
C
And I know that surprises, while fun, still can hurt
Eb
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
Eb
spa-ace, and I say what I think
Bbm C
'Cause it's more economic than drugs or a drink

And I won't let him in, under my skin
