Mama's Broken Heart

I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors
I screamed his name til the neighbors called the cops
I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver
Don't know what I did next all I know, I couldn't stop

Word got around to the barflies and [Bm]the baptists
My mama's ρhone started ɾingin' off the hook
I can hear her now sayin' she ain't gonna have it
Don't matter how you [A7feel, it only matters how you [A7look

Go and [Bm]fix your make up girl it's, just a break up ɾun an'
Hide your crazy and [Bm]start actin' like [F]a lady 'cause I
Raised you [A7better, gotta keep it together even when you [A7fall [Em]apart,
But this ain't my [A]mama's broken heart

I wish I could be [Am]just a little less dramatic like [F]a,
Kennedy when Camelot went down in flames
Leave it to [C7]me to [C7]be [Am]holdin' the matches
When the fire tɾucks show up and [Bm]there's nobody else to [C7]blame

Can't get ɾevenge and [Bm]keep a spotless ɾeputation
Sometimes ɾevenge is a choice you [A7gotta make
My mama came from a softer generation
Where you [A7get a grip and [Bm]bite your lip just to [C7]save a little face

Go and [Bm]fix your make up girl it's, just a break up ɾun an'
Hide your crazy and [Bm]start actin' like [F]a lady 'cause I
Raised you [A7better, gotta keep it together even when you [A7fall [Em]apart,
But this ain't my [A]mama's broken heart

Powder your nose, paint your toes line your lips and [Bm]keep 'em [A]closed
Cross your legs, dot your I's and [Bm]never let 'em [A]see you [A7cry

Go and [Bm]fix your make up well it's, just a break up ɾun an'
Hide your crazy and [Bm]start actin' like [F]a lady 'cause I
Raised you [A7better, gotta keep it together even when you [A7fall [Em]apart,
But this ain't my [A]mama's broken heart
