I can't laugh too hard, I'm on a diet

I'm trying to lose myself
               C
You ought to try it
  Em
Just starve for six days straight

Oh, it's a riot
   B
Ev-e-ry Sun-day night
   G                              B
I binge, and I barf, 'cause I carry the
                 C
Scars of an eight-year-old
     G                B7
Whose mother applied the same rules

To her kid's body
         Em
As her own
  Em
I think you'll leave me soon

Though I've no proof of it

But I'll make it easier for you
              C

    G                          B
The only male influence I've had
        C

          G                   B
Were my mother's weekend lovers
                        Em
And their alcoholic breaths
         G
I'll tell you what caused it
          G
If you'll handle the effects (the effects, the effects)
          G
Yes, I'll tell you what caused it
             G
If you'll handle the effects (the effects, the effects)
               G
I'll tell you what caused it
               G
If you'll handle the effects (the effects, the effects)
            G
Yes, I'll tell you what caused it
              G
If you'll handle the effects (whoa!)
