I love Penelope scott so I wanted to get the whole song written down Capo moves around a bit during the song [Intro] B7
                      Em       C
It sounds like a cabaret to you

             G      B7
That's what you said

                       Em                   C
I could live a thousand years and still not know

          G        B7
just what you meant
[Chorus]
                      Em       C
It sounds like a cabaret to you

           G   B7
What can I say?

                            Em
When I know that you would feel that way about

C
anything I play

            B7                  Em
I'll bet my songs all sound the same to you

     C              G
I'll bet they fuckin' do

     D7                 Em
I'll bet they sound the same because you've

Am              G
only heard like two

            Em                  C
I'll bet my shit all sounds the same to you

     D7             G
I'll bet it fuckin' does

Em               Am                D7
Given the circumstances, that does not amount
to much [Verse 1]
              Em           C              D7
How could you do it on my turf, in my own home,

           G
to my own kids?

             C       D7    G    E
About what's so absolutely mine

           C                D7
And if you played me one of hers and it sounds

G               Em
better than my own

            C             D7              G
I'd have to eat a gun and fuck off to thе sky

            C                  D7
And if it's worse than most of mine, well,

           G     D7  G
that still sucks ass too

                Am            D7
And I am still fuckеd even if it's just the

G
same

                 C                 D7
You would have a better chance of getting into

G         Em
heaven if instead

              Am        D7           G
You nailed me drunk and screamed her name
[Chorus] B7
                      Em       C
It sounds like a cabaret to you

            G      B7
And I feel so small

                        Em      C
And I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it

    G
at all

             Em            C         D7
'Cause everything is just okay to you

            G
It's in the past

Em                 Am                D7
I'll bet you don't remember that you even

        Em
fuckin' asked
[Verse 2]
        Em*               C*
But how dare you make the offer?

      G*                    B7*
And I should've kicked your ass

            Em                     C
Given you a look that turned your slimy bones

  G
to ash

                      Am             D7
If it hadn't been so shocking, if it hadn't

     G
hurt so bad

Em                 Am               D7
Perhaps I could've moved my shaking hands to

        Em
hit you back
[Bridge] Move capo to 1st fret
                                     C
So, first of all, that I would still play
for you
            Em
Anything at all

                B7            Em
And it's just a fucking cabaret to you

                     G
Suddenly I'm half as tall
[Verse 3]
   B7                 Em
Goddamn it, you could call my house in bed
with her
        C
Just to say that she was better

        D7
And I'd still be half as mad about the

G       E
whole affair

           C
Tell me which of your ten fingers have been

D7
how far in her mouth

           G
That you prefer the way she pulls your

        Em
fuckin' hair

   B7               C
Goddamn it, all the branches all the fuckin'

     G
implications

                    C                B7
Code and circuitry, inherent in your words

                     C
The nerve of it, the gall, I should just

D7           G
put you underground

                           Am
And leave your unintended insults, all your

 D7                Em
shit code, for the worms
[Chorus] Move capo to 3rd fret
           B7         C
It sounds like a cabaret to you, and what

      G
can I do?

                    Em                      B7
The sound of cities burning is a cabaret to you

                           C
And I'll bet it sounds the same to you,

D7        G
all of my shit

  Em      Am                    D7
A nastier offense than if you'd gone after

  G
my near-perfect tits

                       C
So don't play it for me

           D7             G            Em
I can't believe you took away one more song,

                    Am
don't play it for me

         D7                 G
You're a monster and you'll never live this

Em                     Am
down, so play it for me

       D7                 B7
A cum shot to the face of God, don't play

Em       Am
it for me

              D7               G
You tell her I said she sounds great, but don't play it for me
[Chorus]
                             C
Well, it was never a fucking game for you

           G
Of course not

                           Em
And you're sure he's only sorry

              B7
'Cause he got caught

                   C         D7       G
You should've been safe, he loved you first

    Em              Am             D7
Why would I fucking want him if he hurt

    G
you worse?
[Post-Chorus] B7
              C
Let's run away

            G
We'll go to France

               Em
Even though I never fucking learned a lick

    B7
of French

               C             D7
I'll write you letters, I'll write you every

G
day

     Em            Am
And they will say whatever you would

D7               G
like for them to say
[Verse 4]
             Em            C
How could he do it on our turf, in our

    D7                G
own homes, to our own kids?

             C           D7       G
How could he paint everything so red?

E           C                D7
And if he'd played me one of yours

             G               Em
I'd still be listening to it now

               C                    D7
And I would've cried my eyes right out of my

        G
fucking head
[Chorus]
              B7          C
Well, it was never a cabaret for you,

          G
of course not

                   Em
I mean, I think he told me your songs

                           B7
lean a little more towards pop

                   C         D7        G
You should've been safe, he loved you worse

                 C               D7       G
How could I ever love him if he hurt you first?
[Post-Chorus] B7
              C
Let's run away

            G
We'll go to France

               Em
Even though I never fucking learned a lick

   B7
of French

                C            D7
I'll write you letters, I'll write you

      G
every day

    Em             Am           D7
And they will say whatever you need them to

G
say
The End!!
