Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Hotter than a perfect lover
Colder than a surrogate mother
That's what happens when a matriarch
Doesn't get her way
She'll build a bomb in silence
And explode it without violence
A matriarch will stop at nothing
Till her point is made.
Don't snuggle too closely to her bosom
You'll be cluttering her velvet cushion
Shanghaied by her soft illusion -
And bouncing off the walls
Just to keep her sane...
(Chords repeated)
The goal posts will be shifted
Till her spirits are uplifted
That's what happens when a matriarch
Doesn't get her way
She'll take away your rudder
With her words all made of rubber
A matriarch will stop @ nothing
Till her point is made.
Then one day she tells you straight:
"If you hate me it's because I'm great..."
And the next day:
"If you love me it's because I'm great..."
One heart is never enough...for a soul-mate...
SOLO over VERSE chorus chords:
Sit down Vera Lynn
Freely on your pumpkin.
Deftly pass the stone -
To your next of kin
Bounced off the walls
La-h-menting on your violin -
The state you're in:
Dogged and driven, since you left your mother's home
She'll be your greatest folly
And you her voodoo dolly
That's what happens when a matriarch
Doesn't get her way.
She'll argue
And she'll reason
But never be fairly beaten
A matriarch will stop @ nothing
Till her point is made.
H-a-r-k
In the dark
A matriarch is getting her own way
