Sweet As Whole Chords & Tabs
Capo on 3rd fret :)
Note (slide pattern): At the "fuck that guy he's just an asshole" line there's a little
slide starting at Gm and then sliding down 2 frets then 1 more fret than 2 more frets
than 2 more frets than 1 more fret than one more fret. That's the only way I know how to
explain it sorry. Or I guess you could just play Gm the whole line. If you listen to the
song though you'll hopefully understand it. I'll put "(slide pattern)" in the song where
you play it.
First verse:
F
Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet
C
Got the sugary me all stuffed up in my sleeve
Gm
And I talk of ponies and rainbows and things
Bb
And I'm just who you want me to be
F
But like most creatures down here on the ground
C
I'm composed of the elements moving around
Gm
I grow and change and I shift and I switch
Bb
And it turns out I'm actually kind of a bitch
C
But that only happens when I get provoked
Gm
By some piece of shit asshole we all sadly know
C
And I sit and I write while reminding you all
Bb
That mean songs are still better than going postal

Chorus:
F
And that guy's an asshole
C
That girl's a bitch
Gm
Baby it's natural
Bb
No getting away from it
F
So sing it out with me
C
And then let it go
Gm (slide pattern)
Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole
F C Gm Bb
Asshole....asshole
Second Verse:
F
I see I've surprised you with some of my words
C
And I know that surprises, while fun, still can hurt
Gm
And I hate to think that I've ruined the day
Bb
Of the dick and the queen of the high horse parade
F
But I'm sick and tired of your poisonous ways
C
You're a toxin
Wasting perfectly good space
Gm
And I say what I think
Bb
'Cause it's more economic
Than drugs or a drink
Chorus:
F
And that guy's an asshole

That girl's a bitch
Gm
Baby it's natural

No getting away from it

Bridge:
Bb Am
No I won't let him in, under my skin
Gm F Am
He's a sad sack of shit, it's pathetic
Bb Am
Just a festering sore
Gm C
Who will never be more if I don't let him
Chorus:
F
That guy's an asshole
C
That girl's a bitch
Gm
Baby it's natural
Bb
No getting away from it
F
So sing it out with me
