And, I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him

Am                      F
 I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it

C                 G
 I underestimated just who I was dealing with

Am                            F
 She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum

C*                   G*
  She underestimated just who she was stealing from
G [Chorus]
Am                           F
She's not a saint and she's not what you think

          C         G
She's an actress, whoa

Am                          F
She's better known for the things that she does

on the mattress, whoa

Am
Soon she's gonna find

         F                          G
Stealing other people's toys on the playground

                    F
Won't make you many friends

She should keep in mind,

 She looks at life like it's a party and she's on the list

 She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it

 I think her ever-present frown is a little troubling

C*                               G*
  She thinks I'm psycho 'cause I like to rhyme her name with things

Am                       F
But sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know

C                          G
 or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go

Am                                F
Oh, they didn't teach you that in prep school, so it's up to me

C*                         G*
  But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
[Chorus]
Am                           F
She's not a saint and she's not what you think

I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey

You might have him, but haven't you heard

    Am ~                          F ~
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey

    C                     G                Am

'Cause I don't think you do, oh

 She took him faster than you could say "Sabotage"
