verse 1: 

Am 
Was I born as a promise 
   Em 
To keep the peace or meet (mete?) the shame 
  Am 
Before you split, one thing left 
   Em 
To give me my ordinary name 
Am         B7       Em 
Give me my ordinary name 

verse 2 (same chords): 

Now that I'm still standing 
I've got something left to prove 
Got a bullet left, but I can't decide 
Which scorpion I'm going to shoot 
Will it be me, will it be you? 

Chorus 2 (same chords): 

       Am        B7 
It's a bad man's world 
       Am        Em 
It's a bad man's world 
Am     B7        Em 
It's a bad man's world 
       Am        B7 
It's a bad man's world 
      Am       Em 
I'm a bad, bad girl 
Am     B7        Em 
It's a bad man's world 

verse 3: 

Am 
I will never forgive you 
    Em 
For what you put us kids through 
  Am 
Remember that night you tried to take your own life? 
       Em 
When I found you, you were a shade of blue 
Am 
Success is a state of mind 
       Em 
With a little bit of follow-through 
Am           B7             Em 
And then you failed at that too 

(Chorus 2) 

(Instrumental verse until the last line) 
  
Am         B7             Em 
Will it be me, will it be you? 

(Chorus 2)
