verse 1: 

F 
Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet 
C 
Got the sugary me all stuffed up in my sleeve 
Gm 
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 
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 
That mean songs are still better than going postal 


F 
And that guy's an asshole 
C 
That girl's a bitch 
Gm 
Baby it's natural 
Bb 
No getting away from it 
F 
So sing it out with me 
C 
And then let it go 
Gm (slide pattern) 
Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole 
F   C   Gm  Bb 
Asshole....asshole 

Verse 2: 

F 
I see I've surprised you with some of my words 
C 
And I know that surprises, while fun, still can hurt 
Gm 
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 space 
Gm 
And I say what I think 
Bb 
'Cause it's more economic 

Than drugs or a drink 



F 
And that guy's an asshole 
C 
That girl's a bitch 
Gm 
Baby it's natural 
Bb 
No getting away from it 
F 
So sing it out with me 
C 
And then let it go 
Gm (slide pattern) 
Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole 

Bridge: 

Bb                    Am 
No I won't let him in, under my skin 
Gm                      F         Am 
He's a sad sack of shit, it's pathetic 
Bb                    Am 
Just a festering sore 
                    Gm             C 
Who will never be more if I don't let him 

 

F 
That guy's an asshole 
C 
That girl's a bitch 
Gm 
Baby it's natural 
Bb 
No getting away from it 
F 
So sing it out with me 
C 
And then let it go

Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole
