This riff is repeated through the first two verses, with a clean C

Verse 1

When you laugh, it just makes me cry,

When you cry, it just makes me smile,

When you smile, well that makes me mad,

When you're mad, it just makes me laugh.

Verse 2

When you're high, it just makes me low,

When you're low, it just picks me up,

You feel up, well that gets me down,

When you're down, it makes me feel high.

The Chorus is played in powerchords (fifths), with distortion.

Chorus

And you never gave me anything, but I ended up with less,

Blame it on the Bad Actress.

And I never asked for everything, but I ended up a mess,

Blame it on the Bad Actress.

Verse 3 is played the same as verse 2, then is followed by the chorus.

Verse 3

If you leave, that means I'll stay,

If you stay, I'll just have to go,

When you go, then I'll have to wait,

If you wait, I'll just have to leave.
