Capo 3

  G                                  Em
I hope I look like you when I'm your age
   G                                 Em
It seems like you have lost a lot of weight
    C                                 D
You must have confidence to wear that dress
    C                                  D
And it's too bad that you have not had more success

I think I liked you better as a blonde
Has anyone told you, you look like your mom
I love that you don't care about your looks
And nothing that you do is ever by the books


Chorus 1:
       C                                  G
Do you ever think before you speak or was that an insult intentionally
    D                                 G
You talk to me without an invitation, making an awkward conversation
C                                      G
Too bad your big mouth never came with words to say what you really meant
     D                                                         G
Piss off and thanks again my friend for your backhanded compliment


Never ask a woman when she's due
And never tell a man his pants are cute
It's rude to say I'm smarter than you thought
And it's my personality that makes me hot

Chorus 1

         G                                Em 
Here's a compliment that I'd like to give back
      G                              Em
You remind me of a horse that i once had

Chorus 2:
Do you ever think before you speak 'cause it makes insults feel really sweet
You talk to me without an invitation, now I'm gonna end this conversation
To bad your big mouth never came with words to say what you really meant
This ??? been; thanks again my friend for your backhanded compliment
