Back Stabbin Betty

Cage The Elephant


A        G
A poor guy that man John Thomas
C     D
His woman truly was a devil
A     G
She wasn't all that honest
C      D
She tore him down on every level

A         G
You're a no, good, lazy motherfucker
    C      D
Got a, shit job you worthless motherfucker
     A         G
You're a, a dead beat, feel sorry for your mother
  C       D
If I had time, I'd trade you for another

     E
He don't like that
       D
He wants his life back
          A      G      C      D
He wants to go back home


A      G
He tried so hard to please her
C      D
He sold his soul to keep her happy
A       G
But nothin' he did impressed her
C     D
She always left him feelin' shitty
      A    G
This is it, no, this can't be all you bought me
    C           D
Said I'm, I'm high class, and this is what you brought me
   A        G
Gonna, strike low just like my momma taught me
    C         D
You're a low life, you're lucky that you got me

     E
He don't like that
       D
He wants his life back
          A      G      C      D
He wants to go back home

A       G
Down deep, way down inside him
C      D
The will to leave was growing stronger
A       G
And he bit his tongue for so long
C      D
He couldn't hold back any longer

     A     G
You're a two, faced ruthless instigator
    C     D
You're a low down, triflin' masquerader
     A      G
You're a cold bitch, controlling conversator
    C       D
This is too much, I'm out I'll see ya later

     E
She don't like that
        D
But he got his life back
       E
No she don't like that
     D
But he's right back on track
           A
I said he went back, home
