Mama's Broken Heart

Intro: Am E Am E  

Am  
I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors,  
E  
 I screamed his name till the neighbors called the cops, 
Am  
 I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver.  
E                                                 Am strum  then mute)  
 Don't know what I did next, I just know I couldn't stop.  

Am  
 Word got around to the barflies and the Baptists,  
E  
 My mama's phone started ringin' off the hook.  
Am  
 I can hear her now sayin' she ain't gonna have it.  
      E                                            Am  
 Don't matter how you feel, it only matters how you look.

Am  
 Go and fix your makeup, girl, it's just a breakup  
         E  
 Run and hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady  
          Am  
 'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together  
      E  
 Even when you fall apart  
E                              Am  
 But this ain't my mama's broken heart.  

Am  
 Wish I could be just a little less dramatic  
        E  
 Like a Kennedy when Camelot went down in flames. 
Am  
 Leave it to me to be holdin' the matches  
          E                                             Am  
 When the fire trucks show up and there's nobody else to blame.  

Am  
 Can't get revenge and keep a spotless reputation.  
E  
 Sometimes revenge is just a choice you gotta make.  
Am  
 My mama came from a softer generation  
           E                                                  Am  
 Where you get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little face.

Am  
 Go and fix your make up, girl; its just a break up.  
         E  
 Run and hide your crazy and start actin like a lady  
         Am  
 'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together  
      E  
 Even when you fall apart  
E                              Am  
 But this ain't my mama's broken heart  

Solo: Am E Am E  

BRIDGE: 
Am (for the entire bridge)  
 Powder your nose, paint your toes,  

 Line your lips and keep 'em closed,  

 Cross your legs, dot your eyes  

 And never let 'em see you cry.
