Mamas Broken Heart

Em


[Verse]
Em
I cut my bangs with some rusty 
kitchen scissors
B7
I screamed his name till the 
neighbors called the cops
Em
I numbed the pain at the expense of 
my liver
      B7                        
Don't know what I did next all I 
                 Em
know, I couldn't stop

Em
Word got around to the barflies and 
the baptists
B7
My mama's phone started ringin' off 
the hook
Em
I can hear her now sayin' she ain't 
gonna have it
      B7                           
Don't matter how you feel, it only 
                Em
matters how you look


[Chorus]
      Em
Go and fix your make up girl, it's 
just a break up
       B7
Run an' hide your crazy and start 
actin' like a lady
Continues after the ad
         Em
'Cause I raised you better, gotta 
keep it together
     B7                            
Even when you fall apart, but this 
                       Em
ain't my mama's broken heart


[Verse]
Em
I wish I could be just a little less
 dramatic
        B7
Like a Kennedy when Camelot went 
down in flames
Em
Leave it to me to be holdin' the 
matches
         B7                     
When the fire trucks show up and 
                        Em
there's nobody else to blame

Em
Can't get revenge and keep a 
spotless reputation
B7
Sometimes revenge is a choice you 
gotta make
Em
My mama came from a softer 
generation
          B7                       
Where you get a grip and bite your 
                           Em
lip just to save a little face


[Chorus]
      Em
Go and fix your make up girl, it's 
just a break up
       B7
Run an' hide your crazy and start 
actin' like a lady
         Em
'Cause I raised you better, gotta 
keep it together
     B7                            
Even when you fall apart, but this 
                       Em
ain't my mama's broken heart


[Bridge]
Em
Powder your nose, paint your toes, 
line your lips and keep 'em closed

Cross your legs, dot your I's, and 
never let 'em see you cry


[Chorus]
      Em
Go and fix your make up girl, well, 
it's just a break up
       B7
Run an' hide your crazy and start 
actin' like a lady
         Em
'Cause I raised you better, gotta 
keep it together
     B7                            
Even when you fall apart, but this 
                       Em
ain't my mama's broken heart
