D5                              Dm
  On the way home from the party,
G5/D                            D5
  Neither of us said a word
  Leanne Rimes on the car stereo
  Sang that song you know I hate,
  The one about the blackbird
  And the rain came down on the windshield
  I wished it would wash us both away
D5                              D7sus4
  You had to open up your mouth, didn't you?
D9(no 3rd)                      D5
  I knew what you were gonna say
                          Am11
  And you were Bluebeard's wife
  Am11(type 2)                          D5
  Opening every cupboard, trying to find the smoking gun

  And I told you
        Am11
  I told you
Am11(type 2)                 D5
  I told you not to open that one
