G 
Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma? 
D/C                            G/B	    C/E	C   
I've seen those English dramas too, they're cruel 
G                   
So if there's any other way 
D/C                       	G/B	 C/E C   
To spell the word it's fine with me, with me 

C                      D 
Why would you speak to me that way 
G                 Am 
Especially when I always said that I 
C               D 
Haven't got the words for you 
G                Am 
All your diction dripping with disdain 
C		    D               G 
Through the pain I always tell the truth 

G 
Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma? 
D/C                    G/B	 C/E	C   
I climbed to Dharamsala too, I did 
G 
I met the highest lama 
D/C                      G/B     C/E  C   
His accent sounded fine, to me, to me 

C			 	D 
Check your handbook, it's no trick 
G			Am 
Take the chapstick, put it on your lips 
C		D 
Crack a smile	adjust my tie 
G                   		 Am 
Know your boyfriend, unlike other guys 

C                       D 
Why would you lie about how much coal you have? 
G                       Am 
Why would you lie about something dumb like that? 
C                       D 
Why would you lie about anything at all? 
G                 Am       
First the window, then it's to the wall 
C            D                G 
Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth 

Solo:  |  G  |  D/C  |  G/B  |  C/E  C   |    4x

Check your handbook, it's no trick

Take the chapstick, put it on your lips

Crack a smile	adjust my tie

Know your butler, unlike other guys 

C                       D 
Why would you lie about how much coal you have? 
G                       Am 
Why would you lie about something dumb like that? 
C                       D 
Why would you lie about anything at all? 
G                 Am 
First the window, then it's through the wall 
C                  D 
Why would you tape my conversations? 
G			Am 
Show your paintings at the United Nations 
C            D                G 
Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth
