 Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever

 Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends from the city

            G/B                     A7sus4
 Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names

     Emin7                         Cadd9
 And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet

G              A7sus4              Cadd9

Am                      Em
 And in a feud with her neighbor

G                      D
 She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green

Am     Em
 Fifty years is a long time

G                  D
 Holiday House sat quietly on that beach

Am       Em                  G
 Free of women with madness, their men and bad habits

D
 And then it was bought by me
G Cadd9 G [Chorus]
