G
Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
D/C                            G/B	    C/E	C/C
I've seen those English dramas too, they're cruel
G                  
So if there's any other way
D/C                       	G/B	 C/E C/C
To spell the word it's fine with me, with me

C                      D
Why would you speak to me that way
G                 Am
Especially when I always said that I
C               D
Haven't got the words for you
G                Am
All your diction dripping with disdain
C		    D               G
Through the pain I always tell the truth

G
Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
D/C                    G/B	 C/E	C/C
I climbed to Dharamsala too, I did
G
I met the highest lama
D/C                      G/B     C/E  C/C
His accent sounded fine, to me, to me

Check your handbook, it's no trick
G			Am
Take the chapstick, put it on your lips
C		D
Crack a smile	adjust my tie
G                   		 Am
Know your boyfriend, unlike other guys

C                       D
Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
G                       Am
Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
C                       D
Why would you lie about anything at all?
G                 Am      
First the window, then it's to the wall
C            D                G
Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth

Take the chapstick, put it on your lips
C		D
Crack a smile	adjust my tie
G                   		 Am
Know your butler, unlike other guys

C                       D
Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
G                       Am
Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
C                       D
Why would you lie about anything at all?
G                 Am
First the window, then it's through the wall
C                  D
Why would you tape my conversations?
G			Am
Show your paintings at the United Nations
C            D                G
