Blame Game

D                    C           
Time keeps slipping away, 
   G
slipping away
 D                   C            
Same routine settles in next 
  G
Friday
D             C                G
TV news interviews saying, "She's 
loose"
D                      C         
Police officer asks, "What she's 
          G
wearing?"
          C              
And I'm tired of the world 
G         D     C
perceiving me
          C         G
And I'm tired of girls saying
D                       C        
Something here's gotta change, 
          G
it's gotta change
D                     C            G
We keep playing the same blame game
D                    C           
Do you think calling names makes 
       G
me feel safe?
D                   C            
"You look prettiest when you 
       G
smile, babe"
        C             G         D
But I don't want to smile for 
    C
anyone
          C          G
And I'll be caught dead saying


[Chorus] (For strumming, I do a down
 down smack for the first part 
(Guess it's my...) and then a fast 
down
strum for the rest but you can do 
what you like :))

  D              A       Em      
Guess it's my fault my body's fun
      G
 to stare at
  D          A           Em      
Sorry my clothes can't keep your 
              G
hands from grabbing

  D            A     Em           
Yeah, it's my problem, I'm asking 
G
for it
  D                A   Em        
Guess you're the victim and I'm 
    G
the suspect

S-s-suspect


[Verse 2] (slow down strum until 
"Cover up your shoulders or you 
might tempt somebody". from there I 
do a fast
down strum)

A
Posters and TV
Bm         D     G         
Tell me my body is for others' 
     A
satisfaction
        Bm       D
Get a sexual reaction
G                   A    Bm     
We're taught we're only meant to
       D
 act holy
G                A              
Cover up your shoulders or you 
Bm             D
might tempt somebody
G      A   Bm        D
Girls run home at night
              G               A
When we're leavin' from the party
                Bm              D
'Cause we're raised to trust nobody
     G    A    Bm             D
And it's not right to make excuses
            G                  A
Teach them why they shouldn't do 
this
             Bm         C   
'Stead of telling us to hide, 
  G
hi-hide


[Chorus]
        D           A        Em  
But I guess it's my fault my 
          G
body's fun to stare at
D        A             Em       
Sorry my clothes can't keep your
            G
 hands from grabbing
D             A      Em          
Yeah, it's my problem, I'm asking 
 G
for it
D                A      Em      
Guess you're the victim and I'm 
    G
the suspect
D              A       Em       
Yeah, it's my fault my body's 
      G
fun to stare at
D        A             Em       
Sorry my clothes can't keep your
            G
 hands from grabbing
D             A      Em          
Yeah, it's my problem, I'm asking 
 G
for it
D                A      Em      
Guess you're the victim and I'll
    G
 ignore it

[Otro] (in the original track, this 
part is fingerpicking so what I do 
is I pluck the C string on its own
then the E and A strings at the same
 time twice for each chord. hope 
that helps those who were wondering 
about
a fingerpicking pattern :) )
