[Intro]
Am F C G x2
[Verse]
Am F
The story starts when it was hot and it was Summer
C G
And, I had it all; I had him right there where I wanted him
Am F
She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause
C* G*
She took him faster than you can say sabotage
Am F
I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it
C G
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
Am F
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
C* G*
She underestimated just who she was stealing from
G (building intensity)
[Chorus]
Am F
She's not a saint and she's not what you think
C G
She's an actress, Whoa
Am F
She's better known for the things that she does
C G
on the mattress, Whoa
Am
Soon she's gonna find
F G
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
F
Won't make you many friends
Am
She should keep in mind,
F
She should keep in mind
G~
There is nothing I do better than revenge, Ha
Am F C G
[Verse]
Am F
She lives her life like it's a party and she's on the list
C G
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
Am F
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
C* G*
And, she thinks I'm psycho cause I like to rhyme her name with things, but
Am F
Sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know
C G
or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
Am F
Oh they didn't teach you that in prep school, so it's up to me
C* G*
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
[Chorus]
Am F
She's not a saint and she's not what you think
C G
She's an actress, Whoa
Am F
She's better known for the things that she does
C G
on the mattress, Whoa
Am
Soon she's gonna find
F G
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
F
Won't make you many friends
Am
She should keep in mind,
F
She should keep in mind
G~
There is nothing I do better than revenge, Ha ha
F (strumming building intensity)
[Verse]
Am~ F~
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
G~ F~
You might have him, but haven't you heard
Am~ F~
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
G (strumming, building intensity) Am F C G
You might have him, but I always get the last word Whoa
Am F C G
[Chorus]
Am* F*
She's not a saint and she's not what you think
C G
She's an actress, Whoa
Am F
She's better known for the things that she does
C G
on the mattress, Whoa
Am
Soon she's gonna find
F G
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
F
Won't make you many friends
Am
She should keep in mind,
F
She should keep in mind
G
There is nothing I do better than revenge
Am F
And do you still feel like you know what you're doing,
C G
Cause I don't think you do, Oh
Am F
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
C G
I don't think you do, I don't think you do
(G) Am
Let's hear the applause
F C
C'mon show me how much better you are
G Am
See you deserve some applause
F
Cause you're so much better
C* G*
She took him faster than you can say sabotage
