Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did
|Bm |G |D |A |
Ha
|Bm |G |D |A |
Ha-ha, time for a little revenge
|Bm |G |
The story starts when it was hot and it was summer, and
|D |A |
I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him
|Bm |G |
She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause
|A |A |
She took him faster than you could say “sabotage"
|Bm |G |
I never saw it coming, nor would I have suspected it
|D |A |
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
|Bm |G |
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
|A |A |A |
She underestimated just who she was stealing from
|Bm |G |D |A |
She's not a saint, and she's not what you think, she’s an actress, whoa
|Bm |G |D |A |
He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches, whoa
|Bm |G |
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys on the
|A |G |
playground, won’t make you many friends
|Bm |G |
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
|A |A |
There is nothing I do better than revenge (revenge), ha
|Bm |G |D |A |
|Bm |G |
She looks at life like it's a party, and she's on the list
|D |A |
She looks at me like I'm a trend, and she's so over it
|Bm |G |
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling, and
|A |A |
She thinks I'm psycho, 'cause I like to rhyme her name with things
|Bm |G |
But sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know
|D |A |
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
|Bm |G |
They didn't teach you that in prep school, so it's up to me
|A |A |A |
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity (Think about what you did)
|Bm |G |D |A |
She's not a saint, and she's not what you think, she’s an actress, whoa
|Bm |G |D |A |
He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches, whoa
|Bm |G |
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys on the
|A |G |
playground, won’t make you many friends
|Bm |G |
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
|A |A |
There is nothing I do better than revenge (ha, ha)
|G |G |
|A |Bm |
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey
|G |D A/C# |
You might have him, but haven't you heard?
|Bm |G |
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey
|D |A/C# |
You might have him, but I'll always get the
|Bm |G |D |A |
last word, whoa
|Bm |G |D |A |
(Come on, can you take it back?) (Come on)
|Bm |G |D |A |
She's not a saint, and she's not what you think (no), she’s an actress, whoa (she deserves it)
|Bm |G |D |A |
He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches, whoa
|Bm |G |
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys on the
|A |G |
playground, won’t make you many friends
|Bm |G |
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
|A |A |
There is nothing I do better than revenge (come on)
|Bm |G |
And do you still feel like you know what you're doing?
|D |A |
'Cause I don't think you do, oh (no, no, no, no)
|Bm |G |
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing? (No)
|D |A |
I don't think you do, I don't think you do (come on), let’s hear the
|Bm |G |D |A |
applause, c’mon show me how much better you are (so much better, yeah?), see you deserve some
|Bm |G |D |A |
applause, ’cause you're so much better, she took him faster than you could say "sabotage"
