[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
F#m
[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

[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 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 D G You're no match for that sulky girl A Bm A G A I won't tell you again, what do you gain D Bm by blackening her name? G A D Bm She's smarter than you, oh isn't it a shame? G A Em You're gonna lose that sulky girl
F#m
[Bridge]
G D/F# Sulky girl Em Bm G D/F# C 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 There are a few events D I think will spare the censor G F C D Sulky girl G F C D Sulky girl
