Intro
Bm C# (x2)
[Verse 1]
F#m E D
She said, what is it that I've done that you want me to be punished
F#m E D
As she woke up one day to find he had started to vanish
E
If you overhear voices
Bm E
Perhaps you should not be listening
Bm D
Twitch the vigilant lace,
E
Make a sly, sour face,
F#sus4 F#
Set the scandalous whispering
[Chorus]
C#m B F#
She's out on her own with the rest of her riches
C#m B F#
As the kids paint him out of their refrigerator pictures
Bm
She picks up the bills
C#m
Pays off the babysitter
D D Bm C#
'Cause everybody knows burnt sugar is so bitter
[Instrumental]
Bm C# (x3)
[Bridge]
G#m C#m7
Once there was a time
G#m C#m7
Before he turned strange
F#m A
She thought they would be together for more than a lifetime
G#m C#m7
Look at him now
G#m C#m7
My, how things have changed
D C#m
He could tear the sweetheart out of any girl
G#m C#7
On just a whim
A F#m
And turn it from a candy to a caramel
G#m C#m
Then make her hate the silly way she used to feel
Amaj7 Dmaj7 D
And say, I know nothing about him
[Instrumental]
Bm C# (x2)
[Verse 2]
F#m E D
Now what's left of the birthday cake is very beautifully frosted
F#m E D
An absent father picks up the phone to find the number's unlisted
E
And while the kids are distracted
Bm E Bm
They don't notice she's nervous at all
D
But how long it will take
E
Not to make a mistake
F#sus4 F#
When a gentleman comes to call
[Chorus 2]
C#m B F#
She's out on her own with the rest of her riches
C#m B F#
As the kids tear down their refrigerator pictures
Bm C#m
They already know how a woman may advance
D C#m
From a pretty picture hat to a supermarket trance
Bm C#m
But if he's unkind he might as well forget her
D
'Cause everybody knows
D Bm C#
burnt sugar is so bitter
Bm C# Bm C#
Burnt sugar is so bitter
Bm C#
Burnt sugar
[Outro]
Bm E
