Stripes — Brandy Clark
Chords and lyrics for Stripes by Brandy Clark (key of Am).
Verse 1
Woah, [Am]woah, woah, [G]woah
[Am]You were lyin' there with nothing on
But a goofy little grin and a platinum blonde
I [G]can't believe you'd do that on our bed[Am]
I got a pistol and I got a bullet
And a pissed off finger just'a itchin' to pull it
The only [G]thing keepin' me from losin' my head[Am]
Chorus
Is I hate [C]stripes and orange ain't my color[Am]
And if I squeeze[C] that trigger tonight
I'll be [G]wearin' one or the other
There's no crime[Am] of passion worth a crime of fashion[C]
The [F]only thing savin' your life[Am]
Is that I [C]don't look good in [G]orange and I hate stripes[Am]
[Am]Woah, woah, [G]woah
[Am]I could fall in love with the prison guard
I could sell cigarettes in the prison yard
Don't [G]think hard time would be that hard on me[Am]
I could pick up trash on the side of the road
But I'd die if I saw someone I know
Ain't the [G]chains, it's the clothes that's stoppin' me[Am]
Chorus
Is I hate [C]stripes and orange ain't my color[Am]
And if I squeeze[C] that trigger tonight
I'll be [G]wearin' one or the other
There's no crime[Am] of passion worth a crime of fashion[C]
The [F]only thing savin' your life[Am]
Is that I [C]don't look good in [G]orange and I hate stripes[Am]
Bridge
Oh, and one [C]shot ain't worth a bad mugshot[Am]
God knows I wouldn't be caught[C] holdin' up a number
While the whole town's [G]starin' at the picture
In the paper of me wearin' stripes
Chorus
There's no [Am]crime of passion worth a crime of fashion[C]
The [F]only thing savin' your life [Am]
Is that I [C]don't look good in orange [G]and I hate stripes[Am]
And orange ain't my [F]color
And if I squeeze[C] that trigger tonight
I'll be [G]wearin' one or the other
There's no [Am]crime of passion worth a crime of fashion [C]
The only [F]thing savin' your life[Am]
Is that I [C]don't look good in orange [G]and I hate stripes[Am]
