Capo 4
[Intro]
B C#m G#m F#
B
Show pony, make it burn
C#m
Smile as the knife is turned
G#m
Show pony making a return
F#
As we make our way through the--
[Verse 1]
E
I'll begin at the beginning, you met in New York City
B
He was sitting like a prince on the stairs of his old building
G#m
And he kissed you, you were finished, two months in a minute
F#
Married at a desk in your sundress with a witness
E
Had a honeymoon in Texas, went to Little Venice
B
Told him with your eyes, now you’re crying in the clinic
G#m
And we pile into the plymouth, haircuts in the kitchen
F#
He always fell asleep just before the movie finished
[Pre-Chorus]
E
But you don’t, baby, you’re alone
B
Echoes in your head, pressed into the floor
G#m
Two-dimensional
F#
When’s it gonna end? Maybe when you’re dead?
F#
Maybe you’re a fool, but he loved you
B
And he loved you in a t-shirt, mmm
C#m
All the memories inside your curves
E
Now you’re coming back to show us that, girl
F#
So roll those credits, 'cause the sequel’s gonna hurt, mmm
[Chorus]
B
Show pony, make it burn
C#m
Smile as the knife is turned
G#m
Show pony making a return
F#
As we make our way through the universe
B
Show pony making it burn
C#m
That's how revenge is served
G#m
Make it so cold that it hurts
F#
I guess he's right that you live and learn
[Instrumental Break]
B C#m G#m F#
[Verse 2]
E
It's how the story goes, ramen on your own
B
Waiting by the phone, lipstick on the coat
G#m
Waiting by the door, you live in his clothes
F#
You would make a joke that you had none of your own
E
All that shit I learned from you
D#m
Kindness spilt like milk and juice
F#
So blindsided by the truth
G#m
In some way I was sure you knew
[Pre-Chorus]
E
But you don’t, baby, you’re alone
B
Echoes in your head, pressed into the floor
G#m
Two-dimensional
F#
When’s it gonna end? Maybe when you’re dead?
F#
Maybe you’re a fool, but he loved you
B
And he loved you in a t-shirt, mmm
C#m
All the memories inside your curves
E
Now you’re coming back to show us that, girl
F#
So roll those credits, 'cause the sequel’s gonna hurt, mmm
[Chorus]
B
Show pony, make it burn
C#m
Smile as the knife is turned
G#m
Show pony making a return
F#
As we make our way through the universe
[Instrumental Break]
B C#m G#m F#
[Bridge]
B
All those nights he left you and me
C#m
There was nothing left of you, but he squeezed
G#m
All those times he did what he pleased
F#
Boy, those scars must really run deep
B
And all that hurt comes out in one scream
C#m
And it pierced him like the paper receipt
G#m
That you got that time you went for food
F#
That first night that he saw you
[Chorus]
B
Show pony, make it burn
C#m
Smile as the knife is turned
G#m
Show pony making a return
F#
As we make our way through the universe
B
Show pony making it burn
C#m
That's how revenge is served
G#m
Make it so cold that it hurts
F#
I guess he's right that you live and learn
