        C majorC                  G+G              A minorAm
Well it seems you've got a baby girl to a man
             E minorEm
who will not love you well
C majorC                                  G+G
and you're walking down Brunswick street
           A minorAm                      E minorEm
and you're buying the baby's tears with treats.
C majorC                 G+G
You look perfect, you look fine
        A minorAm               E minorEm
and you hold it together most of the time
             C majorC
but when the baby's crying
    G+G              A minorAm
and you know, he's lying...
           C majorC                G+G
He was the best looking boy you'd known
       A minorAm              E minorEm
so you married him and made him home.
        C majorC      G+G
Dropped out of university
A minorAm                   E minorEm
all because he said "Well Honey, you're pretty."
       C majorC                    G+G
Yes, you are pretty but you are not fine
             A minorAm                E minorEm
'cause you've forgotten you're partly Divine
           C majorC                       G+G
and if you don't start crying,
             A minorAm            G+G
you may never shine.
G+G                   D MajorD
Step on out of line,
         E minorEm                C majorC          C majorC  G+G
Out..si....de the square I dare you
G+G                  D MajorD
To just not give a damn.
                         E minorEm
'Cause people won't understand?
               C majorC
Don't let them scare you.

C majorC                                 G+G
You play boy games and he plays girl games
    A minorAm              E minorEm
and every Saturday, you swap over again,
C majorC                      G+G
and you wonder why he "Just don't hear!".
A minorAm                E minorEm                      C majorC
Are you saying it loud, are you making it clear
           G+G
or are you hiding away,
A minorAm               E minorEm             C majorC           G+G
behind all those perfect things that you say?

A minorAm                                 C majorC
Hey  You know that you don't wanna be,
                G+G
You don't wanna be,
    A minorAm
You don't wanna be,
C majorC               G+G        A minorAm          G+G  C majorC
You don't wanna be no oh divorcee by 20 3.
G+G                      A minorAm        E minorEm
Well is that your best reason to stay?
G+G                              A minorAm
You're worried about what your brothers' friends'
                                 C majorC
mothers' might one day say ay ay hey?

You really should step on out of line,
       E minorEm
Outsi......de
    C majorC             G+G
the square I dare you
                    D MajorD
To go confront your man
         E minorEm                           C majorC
Help him understand these subtleties about you.

            C majorC               G+G
You you you you don't wanna be,
A minorAm              E minorEm

C majorC               G+G        A minorAm                  C majorC  G+G
You don't wanna be no oh divorcee by 20 3 ee ee he.
                       A minorAm        E minorEm
Well is that your best reason to stay?
C majorC G+G                     A minorAm
  Think about what your baby girl might one day say.
