Backstabber chords by The Dresden Dolls

This is based on the performance Amanda and Brian did for Occupy Melbourne, so I'd recommend watching that if
you want to see the best strumming pattern. I double checked the sheet music to be sure of my chords, they are
correct, although I simplified them a little.

G D Am C
G D Am C

    G            D
The record goes
     Am           C
From blue to gold
   G              D        Am
So thank you for all your help
  G              D
I know you want
   Am               C
To jump around
    G          D          Am
But try to contain yourself

           C                G               D
You always struck me as the type to take it lightly
               C             G                  D
But now you're gonna have to shut your mouth and fight me

Oh

Am             C
Backstabber, backstabber...

       G            D
You're all alone
       Am           C
You're all over
    G        D     Am      C
The popular magazines
     G              D
Will never care
     Am               C
What do you care
       G        D         Am      C
You're down with the Japanese

                  C                  G         D
But you've got no right to sit there saying I abuse it
              C                    G                   D
When you only sleep with girls who say they like your music


*Palm mute

Am                      C
Backstabber, backstabber, backstabber, backstabber
Am                      C
Backstabber, backstabber, backstabber, backstabber


*Back to full strums

G            D
Backstabber, hope grabber
Am            C
Greedy little fit haver
G       D        Am        C
God I feel for you, fool
G               D
You hit lover, off-brusher
Am          C
Jaded bitter joy crusher
G           D         Am        C
Failure has made you so cruel

You

G D Am C
G D Am C

G D Am C
G D Am C

Am            C
Rotten to the core
Am            C
Rotten to the core


*Here, switch to palm-muted power chords, even on an acoustic guitar.

B               G
Rotten like a crackwhore
B               G
Begging out the backdoor
C                    G#
Show us what you're good for
C                    G#
Post it on the noise board
C#                A
Come on join the bloodsport
C#               A
Show us some support still
C#               A
Working at the drugstore
C        A
Is it because you're

A FU-CKING


*The rest is half a step up, so either shove a capo on the first fret and play as normal, or play barre chords
as written here:

So don't tell me what to write
          Bbm               C#

          Bbm             C#          Bbm              C#
And don't tell me not to reference my songs within my songs


Oh, oh, oh

You backstabber
    G#         D#     Bbm      C#

Oh, Oh

G# D# Bbm C#
G# D# Bbm C#
G# D# Bbm C#
G# D# Bbm C#

Finish on a high E chord, for the album ending, or a G if you want a perfect cadence.
