Verse 1
     E
I'll begin at the beginning, you met in New York City
       B
He was sitting like a prince on the stairs of his old building
       G#m
And he kissed you, you were finished, two months in a minute
F#
Married at a desk in your sundress with a witness
      E
Had a honeymoon in Texas, went to Little Venice
B
Told him with your eyes, now you’re crying in the clinic
       G#m
And we pile into the plymouth, haircuts in the kitchen
   F#
He always fell asleep just before the movie finished


Pre-Chorus
        E
But you don’t, baby, you’re alone
               B
Echoes in your head, pressed into the floor
            G#m
Two-dimensional
                                       F#
When’s it gonna end? Maybe when you’re dead?
               F#
Maybe you’re a fool, but he loved you
       B
And he loved you in a t-shirt, mmm
        C#m
All the memories inside your curves
           E
Now you’re coming back to show us that, girl
              F#
So roll those credits, 'cause the sequel’s gonna hurt, mmm


Chorus
B
  Show pony, make it burn
C#m
  Smile as the knife is turned
G#m
  Show pony making a return
F#
  As we make our way through the universe
B
  Show pony making it burn
C#m
  That's how revenge is served
G#m
  Make it so cold that it hurts
F#
  I guess he's right that you live and learn


Instrumental Break
B   C#m   G#m   F#


Verse 2
     E
It's how the story goes, ramen on your own
B
Waiting by the phone, lipstick on the coat
G#m
Waiting by the door, you live in his clothes
F#
You would make a joke that you had none of your own
E
All that shit I learned from you
D#m
Kindness spilt like milk and juice
F#
So blindsided by the truth
G#m
In some way I was sure you knew


Pre-Chorus
        E
But you don’t, baby, you’re alone
               B
Echoes in your head, pressed into the floor
            G#m
Two-dimensional
                                       F#
When’s it gonna end? Maybe when you’re dead?
               F#
Maybe you’re a fool, but he loved you
       B
And he loved you in a t-shirt, mmm
        C#m
All the memories inside your curves
           E
Now you’re coming back to show us that, girl
              F#
So roll those credits, 'cause the sequel’s gonna hurt, mmm


Chorus
B
  Show pony, make it burn
C#m

G#m
  Show pony making a return
F#
  As we make our way through the universe

Bridge
B
All those nights he left you and me
          C#m
There was nothing left of you, but he squeezed
G#m
All those times he did what he pleased
F#
Boy, those scars must really run deep
    B
And all that hurt comes out in one scream
       C#m
And it pierced him like the paper receipt
         G#m
That you got that time you went for food
F#
That first night that he saw you


Chorus
B
  Show pony, make it burn
C#m
  Smile as the knife is turned
G#m
  Show pony making a return
F#
  As we make our way through the universe
B
  Show pony making it burn
C#m
  That's how revenge is served
G#m
  Make it so cold that it hurts
F#
  I guess he's right that you live and learn
