Dm  F           C               Dm
    What did you think I'd say to that?
       F       C                  Dm
Does a scorpion sting when fighting back?
     F    C                Dm     F   C
They strike to kill, and you know I will

 You know I will

    What do you sing on your drive home?
       F     C                     Dm
Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?
         Dm     F
Does she smile?
C           Dm           F     C
 Or does she mouth, "xxxx you forever"?
 
Pre-Chorus:
F C             G               F       C
   Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy
G
What G#out that?
F C            G                  F       C     G
    And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry

            F             C  G
And there's nothing like a mad woman

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

My cannons all firin' at your yacht

They say, "Move on," but you know I won't

   And women like hunting witches too
F         C                Dm
Doing your dirtiest work for you

     I'm taking my time, taking my time
       G                  F     Dm
'Cause you took everything from me
C                  F           C
Watching you climb, watching you climb
G               F Dm
Over people like me

Good wives always know
