[Verse 1]
G* Eight years old, to the day
C* You blew your candles off the cake
Em* Wishing tooD* hard for them to stay C*
You burnt the house down
[Verse 2]
G* She held the match, he held her face
C* You learned to hate your birthday
Em* Calling her bitch,D* despite your wish C*
They had to separate
[Chorus]
C And the roBmom sings D
And it sounEmds like leaving hoCme
The roBmom sings D
WEme know something yGou don't
Em Bm C
G Em Bm C
[Verse 3]
G* Now he's quite the stand-up guy
C* He stood you up 'least twelve times
Em* And when he fD*inally does arrive C*
He brings his new wife
[Verse 4]
G* The family shrink from second floor
C* The one he claimed he couldn't afford
Em* Your mother crD*ies, clings to the floorC*
You knock his lights out
[Chorus]
C And the roBmom sings D
And it sounEmds like leaving hoCme
The roBmom sings D
WEme know something yGou don't
Em Bm C
G Em Bm C
[Interlude]
G Em Bm C
G Em Bm C
[Outro]
C And the roBmom sings D
And it sounEmds like leaving hoCme
The roBmom sings D
WEme know something yGou don't
The roBmom sings D
And it sEmounds like there's no love
