Verse 1:
Cmaj7              D
  I heard that you heard
                          Em
That I was writing songs about you
Cmaj7                        D
That I was bad mouthin' your name
                      Em
In some xxxxxx bar somewhere
Cmaj7             D                                    Em
   You know how I love these biased, one-sided conversations
Cmaj7                   D                                        Em
   So let's discuss the whos, the whys, the whens, the hows, the where's

But who really cares?

Pre-chorus:
          Cmaj7
If it was all in my mind
          D
If it was all in my mind
     Em
To begin with
          Cmaj7
If it was all in my mind
          D
If it was all in my mind
     Em
To begin with

Chorus:
  Cmaj7
I wanna know why
        D

Verse 2:
Cmaj7                        D
   And I remember her bent over
                             Em
And knowing that it was the last time
Cmaj7               D
You know the end is near
                             Em
If she only lets you xxxx at night
    Cmaj7                                  D
And when she finally came, even though she faked it
                  Em
It was much appreciated
Cmaj7                   D
   At least she had the decency
                                       Em
To try to make a sound she thought I'd like

But it's alright

Pre-chorus:
          Cmaj7
If it was all in my mind
          D
If it was all in my mind
     Em
To begin with
          Cmaj7
If it was all in my mind
          D
If it was all in my mind
     Em
To begin with

Chorus:
  Cmaj7
I wanna know why
        D
Yeah, I wanna know why
Em
Why'd you have to make a record 'bout me?

Why-why'd you have to make a-why'd you have to make a-
  Cmaj7
I wanna know why
        D
Yeah, I wanna know why
Em
Why'd you have to make a record 'bout me?

Why-why'd you have to make a-why'd you have to make a-

Verse 3:
Cmaj7
   Yeah, I heard your song

But I wasn't impressed
       D
So you got your feelings hurt

Now you're feeling depressed
       Em
Just because we had xxx and it didn't last

Now you want revenge, you want to put me on blast?
              Cmaj7
Don't make me laugh

Remember all those girls you played?
            D
And all the lies you told back in the day to get laid?
      Em
An excuse for Suze

You got a story for Lori

And all those other girls you only called when you were horny
   Cmaj7
So yeah, it's nothing that you didn't do first
     D
The only difference is, you probably did it worse
   Em
So look at the big bad soldier

Declaring holy war on every girl who didn't mean to xxxx him over
    Cmaj7
But karma's a xxxxx for hypocrites who kiss and tell
    D
And talk xxxx about girls who only wished him well
          Em
So if you wanna chat
Then stick to the facts
And get at me
From Russia with love, Maddie
Why'd you have to make a record 'bout me?

Chorus: Cmaj7 D

Em
Why-why'd you have to make a-why'd you have to make a-

Why'd you have to make a-why'd you have to make a-
Cmaj7
Why'd you have to make a-why'd you have to make a-
D
Why'd you have to make a record 'bout me?
Em
Why-why'd you have to make a-why'd you have to make a record 'bout me?
