Chord diagram for Am
Chord diagram for E
      I know Miranda made this famous but I absolutely love Kacey's version. I have 
never done a tab before so go easy on me. This is a very easy song to learn since 
there are only 2 chords! Enjoy!

Standard tuning   Capo 8 (This is how she played it in her concert version

[Intro] Am E Am E

[Verse 1]
Am
I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors
E
 I screamed his name til the neighbors called the cops
Am
 I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver
E                                                 Am(1 strum, then mute)
 Dont know what I did next, I just know I couldnt stop

[Verse 2]
Am
 Word got around to the barflies and the baptists
E
 My mamas phone started ringin off the hook
Am
 I can hear her now sayin she aint gonna have it
      E                                            Am
 Dont matter how you feel, it only matters how you look

[Chorus]
Am
 Go and fix your make up, girl, its just a break up
         E
 Run and hide your crazy and start actin like a lady
          Am
 Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
      E
 Even when you fall apart
E                              Am
 But this aint my mamas broken heart

[Verse 3]
Am
 Wish I could be just a little less dramatic
        E
 Like a Kennedy when Camelot went down in flames
Am
 Leave it to me to be holdin the matches
          E                                             Am
 When the fire trucks show up and theres nobody else to blame

[Verse 4]
Am
 Cant get revenge and keep a spotless reputation
E
 Sometimes revenge is just a choice you gotta make
Am
 My mama came from a softer generation
           E                                                  Am
 Where you get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little face

[Chorus]
Am
 Go and fix your make up, girl, its just a break up
         E
 Run and hide your crazy and start actin like a lady
         Am
 Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
      E
 Even when you fall apart
E                              Am
 But this aint my mamas broken heart

[Solo] Am E Am E

[Bridge]
Am (for the entire bridge)
 Powder your nose, paint your toes

 Line your lips and keep em closed

 Cross your legs, dot your eyes

 And never let em see you cry

[Chorus]
Am
 Go and fix your make up, girl, its just a break up
         E
 Run and hide your crazy and start actin like a lady
         Am
 Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
      E 
 Even when you fall apart
E                              Am
 But this aint my mamas broken heart
