Ronald McDonald, [A] good [Em] next press.
[A] Who do you think you're trying [D] to [G] impress?
[Am] I think [D] you better [G] hold your tongue.
[A] Although [Dm] you've never [G] been that strong.
I'm sorry [A] to say [D] that I [G] knew all [Em] along
you're no match [A] for that [Em] song, good girl.
[F#m]
[Bm] She left her [F#m] European [Bm] town
before she [B] let the [D] family [Em] down.
She [A] couldn't stand the massacre [Em] game,
so she dyed her [F#m] hair a dark blue [B] to nothing.
[F#m] With the evidence of [Em] passing out
[D] stamped [A] on her hand, she [Em] glows in the dark.

[Am] I won't [Bm] tell you [G] again what you [A] did [D] again
by [G] blackening her name.
She's smarter [A] than you, [D] oh isn't [G] it a shame?
[Em] You're gonna [A] lose that [Em] song, good girl.
[F#]
[G] [D] Stronger [Em] girl, I [B] saw you practicing
[G] your [D] blackmail faces.
[C]
[G] [D] Suddenly, [Em] talking [Bm] like a Dutchess
[G] but you're [D] still a [C] waitress.
[G] I saw through your [C] pretence,
[F]
[G] thought it might [C] be advanced.
[G] There are a few [C] events
[D] I think will [A] spare the sins of
[G] strong and good.
[F] [C] [A] Strong [G] and good.
[F] [D] [G] Strong and good.
