Mamas Broken Heart

Em


[Verse]
Em
I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors
B7
I screamed his name till the neighbors called the cops
Em
I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver
      B7                                         Em
Don't know what I did next all I know, I couldn't stop

Em
Word got around to the barflies and the baptists
B7
My mama's phone started ringin' off the hook
Em
I can hear her now sayin' she ain't gonna have it
      B7                                           Em
Don't matter how you feel, it only matters how you look


[Chorus]
      Em
Go and fix your make up girl, it's just a break up
       B7
Run an' hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady
         Em
'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
     B7                                                   Em
Even when you fall apart, but this ain't my mama's broken heart


[Verse]
Em
I wish I could be just a little less dramatic
        B7
Like a Kennedy when Camelot went down in flames
Em
Leave it to me to be holdin' the matches
         B7                                             Em
When the fire trucks show up and there's nobody else to blame

Em
Can't get revenge and keep a spotless reputation
B7
Sometimes revenge is a choice you gotta make
Em
My mama came from a softer generation
          B7                                                  Em
Where you get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little face


[Chorus]
      Em
Go and fix your make up girl, it's just a break up
       B7
Run an' hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady
         Em
'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
     B7                                                   Em
Even when you fall apart, but this ain't my mama's broken heart


[Bridge]
Em
Powder your nose, paint your toes, line your lips and keep 'em closed

Cross your legs, dot your I's, and never let 'em see you cry


[Chorus]
      Em
Go and fix your make up girl, well, it's just a break up
       B7
Run an' hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady
         Em
'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
     B7                                                   Em
Even when you fall apart, but this ain't my mama's broken heart
