Verse 1:
C         G
  Throwing empty threats
B                Em             C
  Across at me in passing and I thought
               G
  That you had grown on up
      B                   Em
  But now I see you've been acting
C                 G
  So childish and immature
B                       Em
  You hurt me with your words
        C                G
  Called me a friend and played pretend
      B                 Em
  But you've got it all backwards
 
Chorus:
        C
  And I know
            G            B     Em
  That when all you wanna do is hurt me
            C
  And you'll see
          G               B                  Em
  There's little reward in stinging me like a bee
       C                     G
  I've seen your glare, your nasty looks
B                      Em
  Plotting scare after scare
        C                 G
  Don't come for me, I'll fight right back
          B
  It's no fun if you won't play fair
C
  Oh me
G
  Oh my
      B                 Em
  Not gonna let this one by
C
  Oh me
G
  Oh my
B                 Em
  Karma's got you high and dry
 
Verse 2:
C           G
  Maybe you slipped away
            B                 Em                C
  With your nasty words in the past, but oh not I
                G
  I've taken my share of shots
        B                    Em
  And I swear I will be your last
     C           G
  So unaware and ignorant
    B                   Em
  I swear you choose to ignore
      C                G
  The subtle hints and warnings
           B                  Em
  That you feel aren't called for
 
Chorus:
        C
  And I know
            G             B     Em
  That when all you wanna do is hurt me
             C
  And you'll see
          G                B                  Em
  There's little reward in stinging me like a bee
                 C           G
  I've seen your glare, your nasty looks
  B                    Em
  Plotting scare after scare
        C                 G
  Don't come for me, I'll fight right back
          B
  It's no fun if you won't play fair
C
  Oh me
G
  Oh my
      B                 Em
  Not gonna let this one by
C
  Oh me
G
  Oh my
B                 Em
  Karma's got you high and dry
 
Bridge:
      C
  And I thought
G                  B     Em
  We could make it work
        C          G
  And I wanted
                B        Em
  To give you a chance
      C        G            B     Em
  But you just threw it all away
     C        G             B
  So now, I'm gonna hold my stance
 
Chorus:
        C
  And I know
            G            B     Em
  That when all you wanna do is hurt me
            C
  And you'll see
          G               B                  Em
  There's little reward in stinging me like a bee
       C                     G
  I've seen your glare, your nasty looks
B                      Em
  Plotting scare after scare
        C                 G
  Don't come for me, I'll fight right back
          B                           C
  It's no fun if you won't play fair
G   B
    Ohhh
