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
