A                  F                C                     B7
Shake my bones and rattle my grave, he's gone diggin' in the bitch again
A                F               C                     B7
Back tattoo of a big black snake, don't go telling me she's just a friend

[Pre-Chorus:]
A               F                    C                     B7
Hey, lil' mama, who you gonna poison now? (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
A                                     F
Hey, lil' papa, who you gonna run to now?

[Chorus:]
             A         F                C        B7      A               F          C        E
It's been a long time coming, and this house is burning down, Don't know how I ever loved you
       A        F              C         B7           A                   F
I was blind and running into what's in front of me, if I only knew, that happy ever after wasn't you

A#            F           C             B7
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, La, la, la X2

[Verse 2:]

A                  F              C               B7
Hurt me, hate me, throw me down, fifteen years I gave you me
A                  F                   C                 B7
To lie alone in this redneck town, a better lover did I have to be

[Pre-Chorus:]
    A                F                   C                      B7
And hey, lil' mama, who you gonna poison now? (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
A                                    F
Hey, lil' papa, who you gonna run to now?

[Chorus:]

It's been a long time coming, and this house is burning down, Don't know how I ever loved you

I was blind and running into what's in front of me, if I only knew, that happy ever after wasn't you

[Chorus:]
