G

Who gives a f^ about an Oxford comma?

D/C                            G/B             C/E          C/C

I’ve seen those English dramas too, they’re cruel

So if there’s any other way

To spell the word it’s fine with me, with me

C                      D

Why would you speak to me that way

G                     Am

Especially when I always said that I

Haven’t got the words for you

All your diction dripping with disdain

C                     D               G

Through the pain I always tell the truth

I climbed to Dharamsala too, I did

I met the highest lama

His accent sounded fine, to me, to me

C                                   D

Check your handbook, it’s no trick

G                          Am

Take the chapstick, put it on your lips

Crack a smile        adjust my tie

Know your boyfriend, unlike other guys

Why would you lie about how much coal you have?

Why would you lie about something dumb like that?

Why would you lie about anything at all?

First the window, then it’s to the wall

C            D                G

Lil’ Jon, he always tells the truth         [Solo: Verse x 4] 

C                                   D

Check your handbook, it’s no trick

G                          Am

Take the chapstick, put it on your lips

Crack a smile        adjust my tie

Know your butler, unlike other guys

Why would you lie about how much coal you have?

Why would you lie about something dumb like that?

Why would you lie about anything at all?

First the window, then it’s through the wall

Why would you tape my conversations?

Show your paintings at the United Nations

C            D                G

Lil’ Jon, he always tells the truth
