(intro) G   D   Em   C

    G            D
the record goes
     Em           C
from blue to gold
   G              D        Em      C
so thank you for all your help
  G              D
I know you want
   Em               C
to twist and shout
    G          D          Em     C
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 or fight me...

Em             C
backstabber, backstabber....

       G            D
you're all alone
       Em           C
you're all over
    G        D     Em      C
the popular magazines
     G              D
will never care
     Em               C
what do you care
       G        D         Em      C
you're so much above that scene

                  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

Em                      C
backstabber backstabber backstabber backstabber
Em                      C
backstabber backstabber backstabber backstabber

G            D

Em            C
greedy little fit haver!
G       D        Em        C
god, I feel for you, fool.....
G           D
shit lover! off brusher!
Em          C
jaded bitter joy crusher!
G           D         Em        C
failure has made you so cruel....

         Em             G
so don't tell me how to write
          Em               G
and don't tell me that I'm wrong......
          Em             G            Em       G      D
and don't tell me not to reference my songs within my songs

   G          D
so here we go
Em             C
the open road
   G             D        Em   D
is covered with taco stands
    G            D
and you can stop
      Em            C
we'll drop you off
    G                 D           Em     C
and write to you when we land

Em                      C
backstabber backstabber backstabber backstabber
Em                      C
backstabber backstabber backstabber backstabber

G           D

Em         D
backstabber!
G            D
backstabber! hope grabber!
Em            C
greedy little fit haver!
G           D
BACKSTABBER!
