Em
Since you've been gone
  C            D
I feel so much better
         Em      C              D      
'Cause I saw how mean you could be
  Em      C              D
I used to want some explanation
    Em               C            D             
Now all I want is my Patsy Cline CD
         Am     Am7   D         
How I've waited for today
     Am      Am7     D
When I could finally say
    G         Em
You jerk (you jerk)
        Bm     D
You are such a jerk
          G     Em
There are other words
         Bm          D
But they just don't work (jerk)
Fill 1
    Em      C                      D
Sometimes I wish I mailed you that letter
     Em       C                D
That said the things I did not say (shhhhhhh)
  Em       C                D
Instead, I set the thing on fire
  Em              C        D
I had to say this out loud anyway
       Am     Am7       D
I'm so glad I found the nerve
   Am       Am7   D
To say what you deserve
    G         Em
You jerk (you jerk)
        Bm     D
You are such a jerk
          G     Em
There are other words
         Bm         D
But they just don't work
C      
You tryin' to be so cool
Sold you like a fool
D
Never take your call
And you're nobody at all
C
Until somebody in bed
Wanna be your friend
D                    B7
How come jerks don't know they're jerks???
NC
(I don't know... pfff)
        Em       C                  D
So next time someone makes you feel little
     Em        C                D
Just sing this song inside your head
    Em      C                D
And like a great big cartoon bubble
      Em                C                 D
Those lovely words will dance above their head
         Am     Am7   D
How I've waited for today
     Am      Am7     D
When I could finally say
    G         Em
You jerk, you jerk
        Bm     D
You are such a jerk
          G     Em
There are other words
         Bm         D
But they just don't work
(repeat chorus chord pattern to end)
You jerk, you jerk
You are such a jerk
There are other words
But they just don't work

Oh yeah
Not a very nice person
Some people would call you a bully
Maybe a creep
Maybe just mean
But you're not very nice in my books
And not in my mother's either(end with Gma7)
