       C (x32010@1)            GHotter (320003@1)than a perfect lover
       C (x32010@1)              GColder (320003@1)than a surrogate mother
            Am (x02210@1)           CThat's (x32010@1)what happens when a matriarch
F (133211@1)             GDoesn't (320003@1)get her way

C (x32010@1)             GShe'll (320003@1)build a bomb in silence
      C (x32010@1)              GAnd (320003@1)explode it without violence
  Am (x02210@1)           CA (x32010@1)matriarch will stop at nothing
F (133211@1)               GTill (320003@1)her point is made.
	
	F (133211@1)   G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)     B(bass) Am (x02210@1)Don't snuggle too closely to her bosom
	F (133211@1)       G (320003@1)            C (x32010@1) B(bass) Am (x02210@1)You'll be cluttering her velvet cushion
	F (133211@1)        G (320003@1)    C (x32010@1)  B(bass) Am (x02210@1)Shanghaied by her soft illusion -
                    F (133211@1)	And bouncing off the walls
                                G (320003@1)		Just to keep her sane...
 
(Chords repeated)

The goal posts will be shifted
Till her spirits are uplifted
That's what happens when a matriarch
Doesn't get her way

She'll take away your rudder
With her words all made of rubber
A matriarch will stop @ nothing
Till her point is made.

F (133211@1)      G (320003@1)     C (x32010@1)  B(bass) AmThen (x02210@1)one day she tells you straight:
	        F (133211@1)                      Cmaj7 (x32000@1)"If you hate me it's because I'm great..."
                        F (133211@1)	And the next day:
			G (320003@1)            C (x32010@1)   B(bass) Am (x02210@1)	"If you love me it's because I'm great..."

F (133211@1)             G (320003@1)One heart is never enough...for asoul-mate... (x02210@1)
SOLO over VERSE chorus chords:

F (133211@1)           G (320003@1)          
Sit down Vera Lynn
C (x32010@1)    B(bass) AmFreely (x02210@1)on your pumpkin.
        F (133211@1)Deftly pass the stone -
	C (x32010@1)B(bass) Am (x02210@1)	To your next of kin
FBounced (133211@1)off the walls
     C (x32010@1)     B(bass) AmLa-h-menting (x02210@1)on your violin -
	F (133211@1)The state you're in:
	F (133211@1)                          G (320003@1)          
	Dogged and driven, since you left your mother's home

She'll be your greatest folly
And you her voodoo dolly
That's what happens when a matriarch 
Doesn't get her way.

She'll argue
And she'll reason
But never be fairly beaten
A matriarch will stop @ nothing
Till her point is made.

C (x32010@1)  GH-a-r-k (320003@1)       C (x32010@1)  GIn (320003@1)the dark
    Am (x02210@1)   C (x32010@1)    F (133211@1)                     GA (320003@1)matriarch is getting her own way

FADE...
