Verse 1
Bm 
She wears a wedding ring her sister lent 
                      Em 
To throw them off the scent 
Em 
Just let them guess, it's what they expect 
                                 Bm 
Who in the world has bitten her neck? 
                                      Em 
She's discovered wearing last night's dress 
Em 
The carnal and cunning, she couldn't express 
A                                  D      G 
Who do you think she's trying to impress? 
 
Chorus
A                    Bm   A    G 
I think you'd better hold your tongue 
A               D               Bm 
Although you've never been that strong 
G            A        D          Bm 
I'm sorry to say that I knew all along 
       G            A          Em 
You're no match for that sulky girl

Verse 2
Bm 
She left her european town 
                          Em 
Before she let the family down 
Em 
She couldn't stand the massacre game 
                                         Bm 
So she dyed her hair and adopted another name 
                             Em 
With the evidence of passing out stamped on her hand 
Em 
She glows in the dark 
A                                   D   G 
He thinks she's from another planet so 
 
Chorus
A                    Bm   A    G 
I think you'd better hold your tongue 
A               D               Bm 
Although you've never been that strong 
G            A          D          Bm 
I'm sorry to say that I knew all along 
       G            A          Em 
You're no match for that sulky girl

    Em       Bm             G        D/F#    C 
I'm sure you look a picture when you cry 
G      D        Em     Bm                G    D/F#     C  Em 
Threatening the silent treatment doesn't qualify 
G                           C 
It's like money in the bank 
G                        C 
Your expression is blank 
G                            C  F 
But while the chance appears 
D 
You'll be nearer to tears 
      G    F  C  D

Verse 3
Bm 
He said "Hello, my pretty flower" 
                           Em 
Just trying out his tycoon power 
Em 
Avoiding the mirror, her pitying stare 
                                           Bm 
She said "You're mistaken, your money's no good in here" 
                                Em 
Just some stupid little know-it-all 
Em 
Who thought she looked easy, he's not that astute 
Em 
He'll pay for the distance 
A                          D  G 
Between cruelty and beauty 
 
Chorus
A                    Bm   A    G 
I think you'd better hold your tongue

Although you've never been that strong

I'm sorry to say that I knew all along 
       G            A          D     G 
You're no match for that sulky girl 
  A                G 
I won't tell you again 
     D      Bm 
What do you gain? 
   D              G 
By blackening her name 
G                  A 
She's smarter than you 
   D          Bm 
Oh isn't it a shame? 
       G          A          Em 
You're gonna lose that sulky girl

I saw you practicing your blackmail faces 
G     D         Em             Bm 
Suddenly you're talking like a duchess 
           G       D/F#     C  Em 
But you're still a waitress 
G                           C 
I saw through your pretense 
G                           C 
But in my defense 
G                           C  F
