G Bm
[Verse 1]
G D
Okay, I can see it now it's all the same thing
Just different wrapping around it
F C
No need to soften your words, they're still gonna hurt
Cm
So don't pull punches
G
I tried to be everything you'd ever want
D
And sometimes I even stood on my heart and stomped
F C
Now I'm finally alone and dressed for the show
Cm Em
But going nowhere
C Cm
They don't need to see me crying
[Chorus]
G Bm/F#
I'll get my little black dress on
Em
And if I put on my favorite song
C
I'm gonna dance until you're all gone
Cm G
I'll get my little black dress on
[Verse 2]
G D
You came, lifted me up but then you dropped a hurricane
F
Now I'm fighting to find the ground again, to steady my feet
C Cm
Get up off my knees and just remember
G
That I am more than just somebody's puppet
D
I can find the cord and then I'll cut it
F C Cm
I stand a pretty good chance to dust myself off and dance
[Chorus 2]
G Bm/F#
I'll get my little black dress on
Em
And if I put on my favorite song
C
I'm gonna dance until you're all gone
Cm G
I'll get my little black dress on
Bm/F#
I got my little black dress on
Em
And if I tell myself that nothing's wrong
Cm
This doesn't have to be a sad song
Em
Not with my little black dress on
[Bridge]
Em C G
It's time to connect the dots and draw a different picture up
D Em
And paint it with the colors of everything I ever was
C G/D
Return to the scene of the crime, the day I let the music die
D
And rewrite the final lines cause this time I
[Chorus 2]
G Bm/F#
I'll get my little black dress on
Em
And if I put on my favorite song
Cm
I'm gonna dance until you're all gone
G
I'll get my little black dress on
Bm/F#
I got my little black dress on
Em
And if I tell myself that nothing's wrong
Cm
This doesn't have to be a sad song
