🎸 Intro:

G    C G   C G


🎸 Verse 1:
G                        C
Curled up in the kitchen corner
                   G
Tears roll down my neck
             C
I swear it's from the onions
    G
But I'm just scared to death
      Am7
Cause I've been burned a time or two
B7
I've been watered down
          Em              G      C
I've been salted way back to the ground

🎸 Chorus:
       Em            G       C            G
If you shoot me back quickly baby I might burn
           Em               G
But if you hide me from the light
       C                 G
You'll see all my sugars turn
Em      G
Keep me on your shelf
C           G
Save me for yourself
Em           G                     C
Give me some time and I'll get sweeter
G        C G   C G

🎸 Verse 2:
G
I thought I'd bake you cookies
    C
But maybe just store-bought
                    G
I'd steal my mama's recipe
G
But that would say a lot
G
If you add too much too quickly
     C                   G
It's hard to take it back
                    C
So I'll scoop sugar by the spoonful
           G
And put it right back in the bag
           Am7
Cause I've been burned a time or two
B7
I've been watered down
          Em7    D               C
I've been salted way back to the ground


🎸 Chorus:
       Em            G       C            G
If you shoot me back quickly baby I might burn
           Em               G
But if you hide me from the light
       C                 G
You'll see all my sugars turn
Em      G
Keep me on your shelf
C           G
Save me for yourself
Em           G                     C
Give me some time and I'll get sweeter


🎸 Bridge:
  Am7
I saw that cast iron skillet
             D
I thought it all was set in stone
   Am7                       D             G
My misinterpretation of what love was all along
            Am7
It's not my head on your pillow
              G
It's not your lips on my neck
             Am7
It's not the keys to your house in my hand
          D
Or wakin' up in the same bed


Out-🎸 Chorus:
        Em               G       C                  G
Did you shoot me back so quickly just to spit me out
Em               G              C                  G
Hide me from the truth till the truth came pouring out
         Em              G           C                G
You said save it for yourself, go be sweet to someone else
Em           G                  C
You got your taste and now your teeth hurt
Em           G                  C
You got your taste and now your teeth hurt
    Em           G                C
Cuz all along my love was so much sweeter
      G   C G   C G
