Intro: F  C  Gm  C

F
Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet
        C
Got the sugary me all stuffed up in my sleeve
     Eb
And I talk of ponies and rainbows and things
        Bb
And I'm just who you want me to be

   F
But like most creatures down here on the ground
       C
I'm composed of the elements moving around
     Gm
And I grow and change and I shift and I switch
       Bb
And it turns out I'm actually kind of a bitch

    C
But that only happens when I get provoked
        Gm
By some piece of shit asshole we all sadly know
     C
And I sit and I write while reminding you all
          Bb                          C
That mean songs are still better than going postal (pause)

CHORUS:
                  F
And that guy's an asshole
           C
That girl's a bitch
          Gm
Baby it's natural
           Bb        C
No getting away from it
               F
So sing it out with me
                C
And then let it go
Gm   Am7  Bb   C    Bb-5 Gm6 C7    F
Fuck that guy, he's just an  asshole
       C
Oh, Asshole...
   Gm
asshole...
   C
Asshole.


  F
I see I've surprised you with some of my words
      C
And I know that surprises, while fun, still can hurt
      Eb
And I hate to think that I've ruined the day
       Bb
Of the dick and the queen of the high horse parade

        F
But I'm sick and tired of your poisonous ways
         C
You're a toxin, Wasting perfectly good
    Eb
spa-ace, and I say what I think
            Bbm                C
'Cause it's more economic than drugs or a drink


                  F
That guy's an asshole
              C
That girl's a bitch
          Gm
Baby it's natural
           Bb        C
No getting away from it
              F
So sing it out with me
                C
And then let it go
Gm   Am7  Bb   C    Bb-5 Gm6 C7     Dm
Fuck that guy, he's just an  asshole

BRIDGE:

Dm                   Am
And I won't let him in, under my skin
Gm                           Dm         C
    You're a sad sack of shit, it's pathetic
Gm                        Dm
    Just a festering sore
                  Bb                        C7
Who will never be more than that if I don't let it


                  F
And that guy's an asshole
           C
That girl's a bitch
          Gm
Baby it's natural
           Bb        C
No getting away from it
              F
So sing it out with me
                C
And then let it go
Gm   Am   Bb   C    Bb-5 Gm6 C7     
Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole

Repeat once.

F (fiddley-dittle for an outro)
