He don't know I call him the teacher
C#m F#m C#m D
He had hard lessons for the kid
C#m G#
I get I put you through hell
A G#m
He put me under the same spell
F#m G# C#m
He lied man, he stressed me out

C#m G#
You looked for a ring to fit
A G#m
While I played wifey with a kid
F#m G# C#m
Oh the irony makes me sick
C#m F#m C#m D
He tried to make me look crazy
C#m F#m C#m D
Nothing new about his kind of scheme
C#m G#
I laugh when I think about
A G#m
His face when truth nearly spilled out
F#m G# C#m
He looked like me I get that now
