Sulky Girl by Elvis Costello
Sulky Girl
Em
She wears a wedding ring
Am
Her sister lent to throw them off
the scent
Just let them guess, is what they expect
Em
Who in the world has bitten her neck?
Am
She4s discovered
wearing last night4s dress
The carnal and cunning, she couldn4t express
D G C
Who do
you think she4s trying to impress?
D G
C
I think you4d better hold your tongue
D G
C
Although you4ve never been that strong
D G C
I4m sorry to say that I knew all along
Am7 D Am Bm
You were no match for
that sulky girl
Em
She left her European town
Am
Before she let that family down
She couldn4t stand the
Massacre game
Em
She
dyed her hair and adopted another name
Am
With the evidence of passing out
Stamped on her hand, she glows
in the dark
D G C
He thinks she4s from another planet, oh
D G
C
I think you4d better hold your tongue
D G
C
Although you4ve never been that strong
D G C
I4m sorry to say that I knew all along
Am7 D Am Bm
You were no match for
that sulky girl
C G Am Em C
G F Bb F
Sulky girl, I4m sure you look a picture when you cry
C G Am Em C G F Bb F
But threatening the silent treatment doesn4t qualify
C
F Bb F
It4s like money in the bank
C
F Bb F
Your expression is blank
C
F Bb F
But while the chance appears
G
You4ll be nearer to tears
C Bb F
Sulky girl
G C
Bb F Em
Sulky girl
Em
He said "Hello, my pretty flower,"
Am
Just trying out his tycoon power
Avoiding the mirror, her pitying stare
Em
She said, "You4re mistaken, your money4s
no good in here."
Am
Just some
stupid little know-it-all
Who thought she looked easy; he4s not that
astute
D G C
He4ll pay for
the distance between cruelty and beauty
D G
C
I think you4d better hold your tongue
D
G C
Although you4ve never been that strong
D G C
I4m sorry to say that I knew all along
Am7 D G C
You were no match
for that sulky girl
D G C D
I
won4t tell you again, what do you gain
G C
By
blackening her name?
D G
C
She4s smarter than you, oh, isn4t it a shame
Am7
D Am Bm
You4re going to lose that sulky girl
C G Am
Em C G F Bb F
Sulky girl,
I saw you practicing your blackmail faces
C G Am
Em C G F Bb F
Suddenly,
your talking lika a duchess, but you4re still a waitress
C
F Bb F
I saw through your pretence
C
F Bb F
But in my defence
C
F Bb F
There are a few events
G
I think we4ll
spare the censor
C Bb F
Sulky girl
G C Bb F
Sulky girl
G C Bb F
Sulky girl
