I wear my father's leather on the inside of my skin
    G/BG/B          G+G      FF    C majorC   FF  C majorC  FF
I'm a tried and weathered woman, but I won't be tried again
 C majorC   D MajorD                   C majorC
Don't think that you can come for me without your Sunday best

Oh, and I will do

🎸 Verse 2:
    D MajorD               C majorC
I've wanted to cast spells and I have vanished with the fools
FF              C majorC
I have worshiped at the altar of the puppet master's rule
     D MajorD               C majorC
I have held my tongue to many scenes before the final act
     FF                C majorC
With my children in the cheap seats and a zipper on my back
      D MajorD
Thanks to you
FF       G+G  D MajorD
No thanks to you

 D MajorD         C majorC
Tethered in wide open spaces
   G/BG/B         Bb majorBb
In fields that lead for miles
 Bb majorBb       A minorAm     D MajorD
Right into the barrel of a gun
 Bb majorBb        A minorAm
Mendin' up your fences with my
 D MajorD   C majorC   Bb majorBb
Horses runnin' wild
 Bb majorBb      A minorAm      D MajorD
Only broken horses know to run

I have so politely treaded softly for your praise
     FF                    C majorC
I have whispered through the tears and pleaded sweetly to your face
   D MajorD                  C majorC
It's time to spit you out like lukewarm water from my mouth
     FF             C majorC
I will always taste the apathy, but I won't pass it down
       D MajorD  FF
Enough with you
 G+G  D MajorD
You
