Intro
A#m C (x2)
[Verse 1]
Fm D# C#
She said, what is it that I've done that you want me to be punished
Fm D# C#
As she woke up one day to find he had started to vanish
D#
If you overhear voices
A#m D#
Perhaps you should not be listening
A#m C#
Twitch the vigilant lace,
D#
Make a sly, sour face,
Fsus4 F
Set the scandalous whispering
[Chorus]
Cm A# F
She's out on her own with the rest of her riches
Cm A# F
As the kids paint him out of their refrigerator pictures
A#m
She picks up the bills
Cm
Pays off the babysitter
C# C# A#m C
'Cause everybody knows burnt sugar is so bitter
[Instrumental]
A#m C (x3)
[Bridge]
Gm Cm7
Once there was a time
Gm Cm7
Before he turned strange
Fm G#
She thought they would be together for more than a lifetime
Gm Cm7
Look at him now
Gm Cm7
My, how things have changed
C# Cm
He could tear the sweetheart out of any girl
Gm C7
On just a whim
G# Fm
And turn it from a candy to a caramel
Gm Cm
Then make her hate the silly way she used to feel
G#maj7 C#maj7 C#
And say, I know nothing about him
[Instrumental]
A#m C (x2)
[Verse 2]
Fm D# C#
Now what's left of the birthday cake is very beautifully frosted
Fm D# C#
An absent father picks up the phone to find the number's unlisted
D#
And while the kids are distracted
A#m D# A#m
They don't notice she's nervous at all
C#
But how long it will take
D#
Not to make a mistake
Fsus4 F
When a gentleman comes to call
[Chorus 2]
Cm A# F
She's out on her own with the rest of her riches
Cm A# F
As the kids tear down their refrigerator pictures
A#m Cm
They already know how a woman may advance
C# Cm
From a pretty picture hat to a supermarket trance
A#m Cm
But if he's unkind he might as well forget her
C#
'Cause everybody knows
C# A#m C
burnt sugar is so bitter
A#m C A#m C
Burnt sugar is so bitter
A#m C
Burnt sugar
[Outro]
A#m E
