Chords

[Intro] *Single strum for these two chords* G Bm [Verse 1]
G                                   D
Okay, I can see it now it's all the same thing
Just different wrapping around it
F                                     C
No need to soften your words, they're still gonna hurt

   Cm
So don't pull punches

G
I tried to be everything you'd ever want

    D
And sometimes I even stood on my heart and stomped

F                          C
Now I'm finally alone and dressed for the show

Cm             Em
But going nowhere

                   C      Cm
They don't need to see me crying
[Chorus]
G                                 Bm/F#
I'll get my little black dress on

                            Em
And if I put on my favorite song

                                 C
I'm gonna dance until you're all gone

            Cm                    G
I'll get my little black dress on
[Verse 2]
G                                             D
You came, lifted me up but then you dropped a hurricane

                             F
Now I'm fighting to find the ground again, to steady my feet

    C                   Cm
Get up off my knees and just remember

     G
That I am more than just somebody's puppet

D
I can find the cord and then I'll cut it

F                               C                   Cm
I stand a pretty good chance to dust myself off and dance
[Chorus 2]
G                                 Bm/F#
I'll get my little black dress on

                            Em
And if I put on my favorite song

                                 C
I'm gonna dance until you're all gone

            Cm                  G
I'll get my little black dress on

                             Bm/F#
I got my little black dress on

                                        Em
And if I tell myself that nothing's wrong

                               Cm
This doesn't have to be a sad song

                                  Em
Not with my little black dress on
[Bridge]
 Em                       C                                 G
It's time to connect the dots and draw a different picture up

                              D                    Em
And paint it with the colors of everything I ever was

                            C                              G/D
Return to the scene of the crime, the day I let the music die

                        D
And rewrite the final lines cause this time I
[Chorus 2]
G                               Bm/F#
I'll get my little black dress on

                              Em
And if I put on my favorite song

                                  Cm
I'm gonna dance until you're all gone

                                G
I'll get my little black dress on

                             Bm/F#
I got my little black dress on

                                      Em
And if I tell myself that nothing's wrong

                                Cm
This doesn't have to be a sad song
Not with my little black dress on [Outro] *single strum* G Bm
