[Verse 1]
G D A
I saw you at a party
G D A
So I waited in the kitchen for my friends
G D A
You wanted to say sorry
G D A
But I wanna see your body in a ditch
G D A x2
[Verse 2]
G D A
You held me down and told me
G D A
That I thought that you were handsome, but you're wrong
G D A
A friend called it a damn shame
G D A
'Cause you're really good at playing along
[Chorus]
D
And if I had the guts I would've
F#m7
Punched you in the backroom
G
Left you bleeding on the kitchen tiles
A
While I cleaned up in the bathroom
D
You thought you were an actor
F#m7
Claimed a hammered body double
G
Then you wrote yourself a letter
A
To my name for all your trouble
[Verse 3]
G D A
I told my friend about you
G D A
He was so upset I thought he might've cried
G D A
But outside on the pavement
G D A
Well, it turned to, "I like playing with the guy"
G D A
And I don't know about my body
G D A
It feels like the wrong parts were sent to me
G D A
All these feelings I can't name yet
G D A
Claimed and touched and played with in my sleep
[Chorus]
D
And if I had the guts I would've
F#m7
Said, "You can't repair it"
G
Screamed and cried outside the venue
A
To make sure you were embarrassed
D
Acted just insane enough
F#m7
For your friends to claim hysterics
G
And all the men who couldn't sleep with me
A
Would testify and swear it
[Bridge]
G D A
But do their mothers know?
G D A
Do their mothers know?
G D A
I know it's not really her fault, but I
G D A
I do think that she'd cry if I called
G D A
I know it's really not her fault, but I
G D A
I do think that she'd cry if I called
[Outro]

And if I had the guts I would've

Punched you in the backroom

If I had the guts I would've

If I had the guts I would've
