Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Rai[G]se your gla[D]ss,
[E]We have incor[G]porated.
Place your bet[D]s,
[E]We're all so [G]sick of waiting.
Queen [Bm]takes Jack,
You got me [D]this time,
But I'll [A]get [E]you back.
[Edim]So pick a number.

[Verse 2]
To [Bm]all the ones who tried
[G]the most;
[D]Was I supposed to [E]cheer your efforts?
Sorry that [G]I chose so poorly.
[D]Golly gee, am [E]I the poster g[Bm]irl?
[Gm][D][G][Gm]

[Verse 3]
[D]
[Bm]She's the kind [G]of girl who looks
for [D]love in all [E]the lonely places.
[Bm]The kind who c[G]omes to poker,
[D]pockets stuffed with [E]kings and aces.
[Bm]She's the kind [G]of girl who only
[D]asks you over [E]when its raining,
[Bm]Just to make you l[G]ie there catching
[D]wa ter dripping [E]from the ceiling.
[Bm][Bb][Gm][F#][Bm][Bb]

[Verse 4]
[Gm]Lift[G] your [D]hats
Off [E]to [G]the checkout girls with
[D]tattooed backs;
They'd [E]make an an[G]gel's skin crawl.
If you [Bm]ask them for as[D]sistance,
Theres an [A]even [E]chance
[Edim]You'll get a number.
[C]To all

[Verse 5]
[Bm]the girls at pearl[G],
the surly [D]boys who get to [E]masticate them;
I've a prize for [G]each and [Gm]every [D]one of you,
so [E]just be patient.
To all the ones that [Gm]hated me
[D]the most; a toast.
You [E]really had me going for a [G]second,
I was [D]nervous.
Boy, am [E]I the poster g[Bm]irl.[Bb][Gm]
[F#][F#aug][Bm][Bbaug][Gm][F#]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]Shes the kind [G]of girl who gets [D]her slings
and arrows [E]from [Bm]the dumpster.
The kind who [G]tells [D]you shes
bipolar just to make [E]you trust her.
[Bm]Shes the kind [G]of girl who leaves [D]out
condoms on the bed[E]room dresser,
[Bm]Just to make you jealo[G]us of the men she [D]fucked before[E]
you met [Bm]her.
[Bb][Gm][F#aug][Bm][F#]

[Verse 7]
[Gm][G]
[F#]To a[Bm]ll the ones th[G]at thought they knew me
[D]best; a test to [E]prove your prowess.
Who was mine [G]in '99? I [D]want
last names and [E]current status.

[Verse 8]
To [E]all the ones that [G]hated me
[D]the most; a toast.
You [E]really had me going for a [Gm]second,
I was [D]nervous.
Boy am [E]I the poster girl for some
sub[G]urban sickness,
[D]Better keep a [E]healthy distance.
Now it's up [G]to you,
Know what to [D]do,
It's pretty [E]dirty business.

[Outro 1]
