 D#m
Sometimes it's hard to tell
B                                G#/C G/B
Am I a mess or just a mess with you?
D#m
I've gotten used to hell
     B                                   G#/C
And now I can say the hottest flames are blue
               G/B
Like me and you

B
So I'm done now
I'm pretty and young now
    G#/C
And I won't let you lock me up inside

Chorus:
                       D#m
'Cause I'm too hot to cry
                    B
Got my makeup done just right
       G#
It's a waste of mascara
                    E          D#m
It's a waste of my time, not tonight
                     B
In a dress you call too tight
          G#
It's the dawn of an era, say goodbye
                       D#m B
'Cause I'm too hot to cry
                G#
I'm too hot to cry

You almost had me convinced
The best thing about me was this
But I'm looking in the mirror
And I can see you don't know shit
And I'm sure you'll hate me, call me crazy
But I've never looked better than this

Chorus

So I'm done now
I'm pretty and young now
And I know it's gonna eat you up inside

Chorus:
'Cause I'm too hot to cry
Got my makeup done just right
It's a waste of mascara
It's a waste of my time, not tonight
In a dress you call too tight
It's the dawn of an era, say goodbye
'Cause I'm too hot to cry
'Cause I'm too hot to cry
