[Bm]
[A] [B] [A] [B]
[A] [Bm] She wears a [B] wedding ring, her sister [A] lent to [B] throw them [A] off the [Em] scent.
Just let [C#m] them guess, it's what they [Em] expect.
Who in [A] the world is bitten [Bm] her neck?
She's discovered where her last [Em] night's dress, the carnival [E] kind of [A] she couldn't [Em] express.
Who [A] do you think she's trying [D] to [G] impress?
[Am] I think [D] you better hold [G] your tongue, [A] although [Dm] you'd better [G] learn to get strong.
I'm sorry [A] to say [D] that I knew [G] all along, [Em] your romance [A] with that [Em] sucker girl.
[F#m]
[Bm] She left her [F#m] European [Bm] town, before she [B] let the [A] family [Em] down.
She [A] couldn't stand the massacre [Em] game, so she dyed [G] her [F#m] hair, adopted [B] another name.
The evidence of [Em] passing out, [D] stamped on her [A] hand, she glows in [Em] the dark.
[A] Who do you think she's trying to impress?
[D]
[G] [A] I think [Bm] you better [G] hold your [B] tongue, although [Dm] you'd better [G] learn to get strong.
I'm sorry [A] to say that I [G] knew all [Em] along, your [A] romance with that [Em] sucker girl.
[F#m]
[C#m] [G]
[D] Sucker [E] girl, I'm [B] sorry you look [G] a bitch and wear [D] your crown.
[A] [C] [G]
[D] Dancing [Em] in the [Bm] silence really [G] doesn't
[D] qualify.
[C] [G] It's like money in the [C] bank, [G]
you're fresh in [C] this place.
[G] You're a chance [C] of peace, [D]
you'll be nearing a tear.
Sucker [G]
[F] girl, [D] [G] sucker
[F] girl.
[D] [C] [Bm]
[B]
[B] [A]
You said hello my pretty flower, just [C] trying out his [A] attacking [Em] power.
A [D] void in [E] the mirror, pitying stare.
She said you're mistaken, [A] your money's no [B] good in here.
[Bm] Just [B] some stupid [Bm] little know [Em]-it-all.
You're fragile [C#m] to ease it, she's not that [Em] askew.
You'll pay for [A] the distance between cool D [D] and beauty.
[G] [Am] I think [Bm] you better hold [G] your tongue, [A] although [D] you'd better [G] learn to get strong.
I'm sorry [A] to say [D] that I [G] knew all along, [Em] your romance [A] with that [D] sucker [G] girl.
[Am] I won't [D] tell you again [G] what [A] you've been, [D] by blackening [G] her name.
She's smarter [A] than you, [D] oh isn't [G] it a shame?
[Em] You don't [A] understand [Em] sucker girl.
[F#]
[G] [D] Sucker [Em] girl, I [B] saw you practicing [G] your [D] flat-mouthed [C] faces.
[G] [D] Suddenly, [Em] talking [Bm] like a 13th [G] century [D] spin-away [C] interest.
[G] I saw through your [C] pretense,
[G] thought it might [C] get fenced.
[G] There are a few events,
[D] I think we'll spare [A] the censure. Sucker [G] [F] girl.
