VERSE:
It's like a sickness, I'm powerless to stop it
My boring life, my little heart made misanthropic
Don't give me reasons, just give me therapy
But, really, just give me what I want

PRE-CHORUS:
When I think I'm getting better, I'm evil again
When I think I've got it fixed, I have familiar refrains

CHORUS:
When did I become such a bitch?
And how did I let this happen? I don't know
When did I become such a bitch?
I used to be so nice
        Bb (x1333x@1)         CWell, (x32010@1)I used to be alright

BRIDGE:
    Dm (xx0231@1)           C (x32010@1)          F (133211@1)                DmBut (xx0231@1)I-I-I-I-I hate everyone and everything all the time
    C (x32010@1)                     E (022100@1) N.C.
And being so cruel - 'cause all the pleasure that I get
                                   E (022100@1)  N.C.
My wicked tongue helps me forget myself and all my foolish ways
                                     Dm (xx0231@1) C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) Dm (xx0231@1)
'Cause being good is just so fucking boring

PRE-CHORUS:
When I think I'm getting better, I'm just getting worse
When I think I've got it made, I get impossibly cursed
When I think that I'm better, I'm worse, yes, I am
When I think that I'm better, I find that I'm cursed

CHORUS:
When did I become such a bitch?
And how did I let this happen? I don't know
When did I become such a bitch?
I used to be so nice, once upon a time

Oh, when did I become such a bitch?
And how did I let this happen? I don't know
When did I become such a bitch?
I used to be so nice
Well, I used to be alright
