Runner Up

            C      Am
She's gonna blow
          F        C   Am
Her faulty circuitry exposed
                    F        C  Am
And though you feel ashamed
             F           C      Am    Em  Dm
I'm sure she seemed so real from far away___


[Chorus]
              C               G       Dm
And just when you get up your nerve
   C              G  C   Dm
To take her at her word
       C            G       Dm
Hiding out somewhere safe
                C                G
She'll set that hook inside your mouth, you just wait
   F        C   Dm7    F  C  G
She's a fake___


[Verse 2]
               C      Am
And she's on a roll
                  F         C   Am
She's the perfect picture of complete control
                  F      C  Am
But underneath her stage
                F              C    Am          Em     Dm
She's scared to death you might mean what you say-ay, hey


[Chorus]
              C               G       Dm
And just when you get up your nerve
   C              G  C   Dm
To take her at her word
                C            G        Dm
She'll draw you in for a last taste
              C                G
And when it's time, she will deny what she embraced
          F        C   Dm7
'Cause she's a fake___
            F     C  Dm7
And all men know
   F        C   Dm7    Em
She's a fake___


[Bridge]
              Am                     F
And she will take all that you will let her
    Dm        C    Bb
But you will never get her


[Verse 3]
                         C     Am
'Cause you're the runner up
           F        C         Am
You better learn to keep your big mouth shut
                 F    C  Am
You can talk all day
                 F       C    Am       Em  Dm
But you're gonna leave exactly as you came___


[Chorus]
          C               G       Dm
Just when you get up your nerve
   C              G      C     Dm
To take her at her sorry word
        C              G       Dm
It's an awful truth you face
       C               G
Nonetheless you better learn when to cut bait
          F        C   Dm7
'Cause she's a fake___
            F
And all men know
        Dm7
She's a fake___
          F        C   Dm7
'Cause she's a fake___
