(intro)

Bm7Bm7
(verse)
G+G Bm7Bm7
Okay I can see it now its all the same thing
Just different wrapping around it
FF
No need to soften your words,
C majorC 
C minorCm
theyre still gonna hurt, So dont pull punches
G+G Bm7Bm7
I tried to be everything youd ever want and sometimes
I even stood on my heart and stomped
FF
Now Im finally alone
C majorC C minorCm
And dressed for the show, but going nowhere
(prechorus)
E minorEm C majorC
They dont need to see me crying
(chorus)
G+G
Ill get my little black dress on
Bm7Bm7
And if I put on my favorite song
C majorC C minorCm
Im gonna dance until youre all gone
G+G
Ill get my little black dress on
(verse)
You came lifted me up but then you dropped a hurricane
Now Im fighting to find the ground again, to steady my feet
Get up off my knees and just remember
That I am more than just somebodys puppet
I can find the cord and then Ill cut it
I stand a pretty good chance to dust myself off and dance
(no prechorus)
(chorus)
(bridge)
E minorEm G+G
It’s time to connect the dots and draw a different picture up
C majorC 
D MajorD
And paint it with the colors of everything I ever was
E minorEm G+G
Return to the scene of the crime, the day I let the music die
C majorC D MajorD
And rewrite the final lines cause this time I
I’ll get my little black dress on
And if I put on my favorite song
I’m gonna dance until you’re all gone
I’ll get my little black dress on
I got my little black dress on
And if I tell myself that nothing’s wrong
This doesn’t have to be a sad song
Not with my little black dress on
