C#             F#
I'm the singer, I'm the singer in the band
C#              F#
You're the loser, I won't dismiss you out of hand
A#m              F#
Cos you've got a beautiful face
         G#
It will take you places

C#
You kept running
F#                            C#
You've got money, you've got fame
            F#                             A#m
Every morning I see your picture from the train
Now you're an actress!
F#
So says your resume
        G#
You're made of card
                                         C#
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

Chorus:
A#m              F
Blow up in the face of my rivals
C#                         D#
I swear and I rant, I make quite an arrival
G#m             D#
The men are surprised by the language
     G#m                       G#
They act so discreet, they are hypocrites
              C#
so fuck them too!

I always loved you
You always had a lot of style
I’d hate to see you on the pile
Of nearly-made-its
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

Chorus:
Blow 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!
