NOTES:
This is really a piano song, as were many on this album, but this is such a

cool song from one of the great songwriters out there. Enjoy!

VERSE:
It's like a sickness, I'm powerless to stop it
My boring life, my little heart made misanthropic
Don't give me reasons, just give me therapy
But, really, just give me what I want

PRE-CHORUS:
When I think I'm getting better, I'm evil again
When I think I've got it fixed, I have familiar refrains

CHORUS:
When did I become such a bitch?
And how did I let this happen? I don't know
When did I become such a bitch?
I used to be so nice
Well, I Bbused to be alCright

BRIDGE:
But DmI-I-I-I-I hate Ceveryone and Feverything all the Dmtime
C E N.C.
And being so cruel - 'cause all the pleasure that I get
E N.C.
My wicked tongue helps me forget myself and all my foolish ways
'Cause being good is just so fucking DmborinCgFDm

PRE-CHORUS:
When I think I'm getting better, I'm just getting worse
When I think I've got it made, I get impossibly cursed
When I think that I'm better, I'm worse, yes, I am
When I think that I'm better, I find that I'm cursed

CHORUS:
When did I become such a bitch?
And how did I let this happen? I don't know
When did I become such a bitch?
I used to be so nice, once upon a time

Oh, when did I become such a bitch?
And how did I let this happen? I don't know
When did I become such a bitch?
I used to be so nice
Well, I used to be alright
