Intro
Bbm Bmaj9
Verse:
Bbm
Rest easily,
Bmaj9
In the bed of another man's tired old queen.
Bbm
I cannot wait for love
Bmaj9
If it comes as fast as he did.
Bbm
Rest easily,
Bmaj9
In the bed of another man's tired old queen.
Bbm
I cannot wait for love
Bmaj9
If it comes as fast as he did, well, shit
That's two minutes well-spent
That she spent with him
Chorus:
Bbm Bmaj9
So stay home
Bbm Bmaj9
In bed alone
Bbm Bmaj9
All because of you, all because of you,
Now I can't stand it.
Bbm
In all that I do, all that I do,
Bmaj9
I see the scarlet branding.
Bbm
Mother, you know I'm sorry,
Bmaj9
But sorry's pregnant with remorse
Bbm C5 G#5
And when remorse is born, remorse won't see
Bmaj9
An ounce of child support.
Bbm C5 Bbm
She won't, no, she won't no, she won't.
She won't...
She..
Go ahead... No wait... Wait.. Ok go ahead...

Verse 2:
Bbm
Wait eagerly,
Bmaj9
Because tonight I'm another man's brand new queen
Bbm
Why should I wait for love,
Bmaj9
If it comes as fast as he did?
Bbm
He said, "Wait, she's with me
E
So send that other man walking
With his two left feet"
Bbm
Now I hate my love
E
If it comes as fast as he did?
Bbm
He said, "Wait, she's with me
Bmaj9
So send that other man walking
With his two left feet"
Bbm
Now I hate my love
Bmaj9
And now the other man's floating in the dead man's sea
And he's floating face-down, 'cause he's a dead man, see?
Chorus 2:
Bbm Bmaj9
So stay home
Bbm Bmaj9
In bed alone
Bbm Bmaj9
All because of you, all because of you,
Now I can't stand it.
Bbm
In all that I do, all that I do,
Bmaj9
I see the scarlet branding.
Bbm
Mother, you know I'm sorry,
Bmaj9
But sorry's pregnant with remorse
Bbm C5 G#5
And when remorse is born, remorse won't see
Bmaj9
An ounce of child support.
Bbm C5 Bbm
She won't, no, she won't no, she won't.
SHE WILL NOT
