Intro
Am B (x2)
[Verse 1]
Em D C
She said, what is it that I've done that you want me to be punished
Em D C
As she woke up one day to find he had started to vanish
D
If you overhear voices
Am D
Perhaps you should not be listening
Am C
Twitch the vigilant lace,
D
Make a sly, sour face,
Esus4 E
Set the scandalous whispering
[Chorus]
Bm A E
She's out on her own with the rest of her riches
Bm A E
As the kids paint him out of their refrigerator pictures
Am
She picks up the bills
Bm
Pays off the babysitter
C C Am B
'Cause everybody knows burnt sugar is so bitter
[Instrumental]
Am B (x3)
[Bridge]
F#m Bm7
Once there was a time
F#m Bm7
Before he turned strange
Em G
She thought they would be together for more than a lifetime
F#m Bm7
Look at him now
F#m Bm7
My, how things have changed
C Bm
He could tear the sweetheart out of any girl
F#m B7
On just a whim
G Em
And turn it from a candy to a caramel
F#m Bm
Then make her hate the silly way she used to feel
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 C
And say, I know nothing about him
[Instrumental]
Am B (x2)
[Verse 2]
Em D C
Now what's left of the birthday cake is very beautifully frosted
Em D C
An absent father picks up the phone to find the number's unlisted
D
And while the kids are distracted
Am D Am
They don't notice she's nervous at all
C
But how long it will take
D
Not to make a mistake
Esus4 E
When a gentleman comes to call
[Chorus 2]
Bm A E
She's out on her own with the rest of her riches
Bm A E
As the kids tear down their refrigerator pictures
Am Bm
They already know how a woman may advance
C Bm
From a pretty picture hat to a supermarket trance
Am Bm
But if he's unkind he might as well forget her
C
'Cause everybody knows
C Am B
burnt sugar is so bitter
Am B Am B
Burnt sugar is so bitter
Am B
Burnt sugar
[Outro]
Am E
