"Not Ready To Make Nice" by Dixie Chicks (Emily Robison/Martie Maguire/Natalie Maines/Dan Wilson)

1st Verse

Forgive sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I'm still waiting

2nd Verse

I'm through with doubt
There's nothin' left for me to figure out
I've paid a price
And I'll keep payin'

Chorus

(I'm not ready to make nice)
I'm not ready to back down
(I'm) still mad as hell, and I don't have time
To go 'round and 'round and 'round
It's too late to make it right
I prob'bly wouldn't if I could
'Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do
What it is you think I should
(What it is you think I should, ooh)

3rd Verse

I know you said
Can't you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kinda like it

Bridge

I made my bed, and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don't mind sayin'
It's a sad, sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Sayin' that I better
Shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

(Repeat 1st Verse)
