G                      C 
Don't try to cry your way out of this 
              D                       G 
Don't try to lie or I'll catch you in it 
                                 C 
Don't try to make me feel sorry for you 
        D 
Just because I'm blonde, don't think I'm dumb 
                                       G 
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool 

G         C 
When you left you thought I'd sit 
An' you thought I'd wait, An' you thought I'd cry 
                 D 
You called me a dumb blonde 
          C 
Ah, but somehow I lived through it 
                                                    D 
And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned 

Blondes have more fun 

              G                C 
You flew too high up off the ground 
              D                           G 
It's stormy weather an' had to come back down 
                                       C 
But I've found new thread for my old spool 
       D 
Just because I'm blonde, don't think I'm dumb 
                                       G   D-G 
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool 

G         C 
When you left you thought I'd sit 
An' you thought I'd wait, An' you thought I'd cry 
                 D 
You called me a dumb blonde 
          C 
Ah, but somehow I lived through it 
                                                    D 
And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned 

Blondes have more fun 

              G                C 
You flew too high up off the ground 
              D                           G 
It's stormy weather an' had to come back down 
                                       C 
But I've found new thread for my old spool 
       D 
Just because I'm blonde, don't think I'm dumb 
                                       G 
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool
