Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I'm  the singer, I'm  the singer in the band
You're  the loser,  I won't dismiss you out of hand
Cos  you've got a  beautiful face
 It  will take you places
You  kept running
You've  got money, you've got fame
 Every morning I  see your picture from the train
 Now you're an actress!
So  says your resume
You're  made of card
You  couldn't act your way out of a paper bag
You  got lucky, you  ain't talking to me now
 Little Miss Plucky
Pluck  your eyebrows for the crowd
 Get on the airplane
You  give me stomach pain
I  wish that you were here
 We would have had a lot to talk about
We  had a deal there
We  nearly signed it with our blood
 An understanding
I  thought that you would keep your word
 I'm disappointed
I'm  aggravated
It's  a fault I have, I know
When  things don't go my way I have to
Blow  up in the face  of my rivals
I  swear and I rant, I make  quite an arrival
The  men are surprised  by the language
 They act  so discreet, they are  hypocrites so fuck them too!
 ,  ,
 x 2
I  always loved you
You  always had a lot of style
   I'd hate to see you on the pile
 Of 'nearly-made-it' s
You've  got the essence, dear
If  I could have a second skin
I'd  probably dress up in you
You're  a star now
I  am fixing people's nails
 I'm knitting jumpers
I'm  working after hours
 I've got a boyfriend
I've  got a feeling that
he's  seeing someone else
He  always had a thing for you as well
Blow  up in the face  of my rivals
I  swear and I rant
I  make quite an arrival
The  men are surprised  by the language
 They  act so discreet
they  are hypocrites forget them...
 So fuck them too.
