     Am         D
It's raining outside
       G          C
You've nowhere to hide

She's asking you why you think it's funny

She's leaving your house
    G          C
She had to get out
      Am             D                  Em
She's mad and she'll take her mattress with her

Keep playing that and then go into the next verse ...

    Am         D
You lie on the floor
      G             C
She's slamming your door
      Am             D                Em
She's gone and she's wearing your red sweater
