Am
Every morning I wake up
                              D
From a dream of you, holding me
                                        Am
Underwater (Is that a dream or a memory?)
Held my breath for a decade
                               D
Dyed my hair blue to match my lips
Cool of me to try (Pretty cool I'm still alive)

Chorus:
   C                       D                   Bm
I beat it like a dead horse, I beat it like a drum
        C
Oh, I stayed with you too long
C                     D              Bm
Skipping like a record, but I sang along
      C
To a silly little song
          C                        D
I said I beat it like a dead horse,
                 Bm
I beat it like a drum
        C
Oh, I stayed with you too long
C                      D              Bm
Skipping like a record, but I sang along
         C                 Am
A shitty never-ending song

Sometimes it's good to be the bigger person
But I'm so small I can't compare
And after all, it's only fair, yeah
I got what I deserved, I was the other woman first
Other others on the line
But I kept trying to make it work

Chorus:
I beat it like a dead horse, I beat it like a drum
Oh, I stayed with you too long
Skipping like a record, but I sang along
To a silly little song
I said I beat it like a dead horse,
I beat it like a drum
Oh, I stayed with you too long
Skipping like a record, but I sang along
To your shitty little song

Am                      D
Ya-ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya
   C        G       Am
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
                     D
Ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya
   C                Am
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

             Em                   D   G  Am
When I said goodbye, I hope you cri-i-ied
                                  D    G  Am
When I said goodbye, I hope you cri-i-ied
                                  D    G  Am
When I said goodbye, I hope you cri-i-ied
When I said goodbye, I hope you cri-i-ied

Chorus:
I beat it like a dead horse, I beat it like a drum
Oh, I stayed with you too long
Skipping like a record, but I sang along
To a silly little song
I said I beat it like a dead horse,
I beat it like a drum
Oh, I stayed with you too long
Skipping like a record, but I sang along
And now you get another song

Ya-ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
(Now you get another song)
