Verse 1:
Gbm  A           E               Gbm
    What did you think I'd say to that?
       A       E                  Gbm
Does a scorpion sting when fighting back?
     A    E                Gbm     A   E
They strike to kill, and you know I will

 You know I will

    What do you sing on your drive home?

Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?
         Gbm     A
Does she smile?
E           Gbm           A     E
 Or does she mouth, "xxxx you forever"?
 
Pre-Chorus:
A E             B               A       E
   Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy
B
What G#out that?
A E            B                  A       E     B

What a shame she went mad
A             E  B
No one likes a mad woman
    A            E   B
You made her like that
           A        E            B
And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out
        A       E       B
And you find something to wrap your noose around
A E             B              A E B
      And there's nothing like a mad      woman
