        C                  G              Am
Well it seems you've got a baby girl to a man
             Em
who will not love you well
C                                  G
and you're walking down Brunswick street
           Am                      Em
and you're buying the baby's tears with treats.
C                 G
You look perfect, you look fine
        Am               Em
and you hold it together most of the time
             C
but when the baby's crying
    G              Am
and you know, he's lying...
           C                G
He was the best looking boy you'd known
       Am              Em
so you married him and made him home.
        C      G
Dropped out of university
Am                   Em
all because he said "Well Honey, you're pretty."
       C                    G
Yes, you are pretty but you are not fine
             Am                Em
'cause you've forgotten you're partly Divine
           C                       G
and if you don't start crying,
             Am            G
you may never shine.
G                   D
Step on out of line,
         Em                C          C  G
Out..si....de the square I dare you
G                  D
To just not give a damn.
                         Em
'Cause people won't understand?
               C
Don't let them scare you.

C                                 G
You play boy games and he plays girl games
    Am              Em
and every Saturday, you swap over again,
C                      G
and you wonder why he "Just don't hear!".
Am                Em                      C
Are you saying it loud, are you making it clear
           G
or are you hiding away,
Am               Em             C           G
behind all those perfect things that you say?

Am                                 C
Hey  You know that you don't wanna be,
                G

C               G        Am          G  C
You don't wanna be no oh divorcee by 20 3.
G                      Am        Em
Well is that your best reason to stay?
G                              Am
You're worried about what your brothers' friends'
                                 C

To go confront your man
         Em                           C
Help him understand these subtleties about you.
