It turned my whole world around

And I kind of like it 
 
Bridge (smae chords as verses) 
Em 
I made my bed and I sleep like a baby 
D 
With no regrets and I don't mind sayin 
G 
It's a sad sad story when a mother will teach her 
C 
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger 
Em 
And how in the world can the words that I said

Send somebody so over the edge

That they'd write me a letter

Saying that I better shut up and sing 
C (2bars) 
Or my life will be over
