Intro: 
G A Am Eb 
A Eb A F



Am                 E    
One day as I was closing 
     Am
my country music store, 
    Am7    Am
In came a red haired lady, 
           Bm               A
She was all cried out and sore. 
                            Am7
She walked right in and grabbed me 
        Am             D
Just right out of the blue, 
                   Am       Am7
And said "I need someone to listen, 
Em                       Am             C
And this someone will be you." 



     G     Am                           Eb
She said, "I know that men are stupid, 
Am                    Bm
I know that you are too, 
     Am               G         Am          A
So I will try to simplify my story just for you. 
Am             E        A               D
I am a man-eater, I own them from the start, 
Am                      E                 Am              C        A C
But somehow this handsome fucker got his grip around my heart. 


CHORUS
A       Dm                      Am
        Well I know I had it coming, 
    Dm
I know I was a fool, 
  Am
Cause he really made me trust him 
                       E7
And he really made me drool, 
       Dm           Am
He made me feel important, 
   Dm
He knew just what to say, 
            Em                              A           
But you can bet your ass I really made him pay." 

Interlude:
Am  A E Am G A
(played while humming)


G        Am                  Eb
She said "My plan was to seduce him, 
Am             Bm
But he was far ahead, 
Am                  G  
He smiled at me and suddenly 
Am                A
I laid down in his bed. 
Am                  E           A                 D
And so far it was perfect, but something wasn't right, 
           Am                           E              
Because I thought of him the whole next day, 
Am                     C
And dreamt of him all night.

 
Am                 E
And soon I was his baby, 
Am            D
My god I was naive, 
      Am              G   
Cause he was fine and he was mine,
Am                A 
I simply couldn't leave. 
Am                   E               Am       C
One day I came home early and found him in a chair, 
Am               G
But over him sat my best friend,
Am                     A
And guess what she did there. 



CHORUS
A       Dm                      Am
        Well I know I had it coming, 
    Dm
I know I was a fool, 
  Am
Cause he really made me trust him 
                       E7
And he really made me drool, 
       Dm           Am
He made me feel important, 
   Dm
He knew just what to say, 
            Em                              A           
But you can bet your ass I really made him pay." 

Interlude:
Am  A E Am G A
(played while humming)



Well I didn't care about her, 
I let her run away, 
He said 'oh please I'm sorry' 
And I said 'but you will pay.' 
Then he tried to escape me, but I was far ahead, 
I found a knife and took his life, 
Oh god how much he bled. 



And then I cut him up in pieces, 
My handsome charming midge, 
I sorted him in big black bags, 
And put him in the fridge. 
Now I am a man-eater, in more than just one way... 
He tastes like pig, but that's okay, 
I eat him every day. 


Chorus
Well I know I had it coming, 
I know I was a fool, 
Cause he really made me trust me 
And he really made me drool, 
He made me feel important, 
He knew just what to say, 
But you can bet your ass I really made him pay.
