Bust Your Windows Tab

by Jazmine Sullivan



I love the instrumentals on this album and I've been transposing the songs to acoustic 
 This song is one of the simpler ones, but it sounds great (the tempo is 4/4, but it 
like a waltz because of the syncopated claps).


Tuning: Standard

Intro: , , , 
Note: To really get the sound of the song, you might want to follow these exact chords:

            
1     4      6     8
1     6      6     8
1     6      6     9
3     6      8     10
3     4      8     10
1     X      6     8.

-----Verse 1 lyrics (Still on "C" from Intro)-->

                          
I bust the windows out ya car
                          
And no, it didn’t mend my broken heart
                                
I’ll probably always have these ugly scars
                              
But right now, I don’t care a-bout that part.
                          
I bust the windows out ya car
                       
After I saw you laying next to her
                     
I didn’t wanna but I took my turn
                                            
I’m glad I did it 'cause you had to learn...

Middle Eight/Chorus: Same chords (start on Fm)
                                     
I must admit, it helped a little bit
                                           
To think of how you’d feel when you saw it
                                            
I didn’t know that I had that much strength
                                       
But I’m glad you see what happens when
                                                   
You see you can’t just play with people’s feelings
                                          
Tell them you love them and don’t mean it
                                         
You’ll probably say that it was juvenile

But I think that I deserve to smile...

There is a kind of cool descending melody line that ends on a diminished chord here:

E|--8------------------6-----------------------|
B|-------11--9--8------8-----------------------|
G|-----------------10--9-----------------------|
D|---------------------8-----------------------|
A|---------------------7-----------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------|


-----Verse 2 lyrics-->

I bust the windows out ya car
You know I did it 'cause I left my mark
Wrote my initials with a crowbar
And then I drove off into the dark.

I bust the windows out ya car
You should feel lucky that that’s all I did
After five whole years of this bullsh*t
Gave you all of me and you played with it.

-----Chorus 2 lyrics-->

Oooh ahh...
I must admit it helped a little bit
To think of how you’d feel when you saw it
I didn’t know that I had that much strength
But I’m glad you see what happens when...

You see you can’t just play with people’s feelings
Tell them you love them and don’t mean it
You’ll probably say that it was juvenile
But I think that I deserve to smile...

-----Final Verse/Chorus-->

But it don’t comfort to my broken heart
You could never feel how I felt that day
Until it happens, baby, you don’t know pain.

Oooh, yeah I did it (Yeah I did it)
You should know it (You should know it)
I ain’t sorry (I ain’t sorry)
You deserved it (You deserved it).

After what you did to me (After what you did)
You deserved it (You deserved it)
I ain’t sorry (I ain’t sorry)
No no oh... (I ain’t sorry)

You broke my heart
So I broke ya car
You caused me pain (You caused me pain)
So I did the same.

Even though all that you did to me was much worse
I had to do something
To make you hurt yeah.

Oh, but why am I still crying?
Why am I the one who is still crying?

Oh oh you really hurt me baby
You really you really hurt me baby
Hey, hey, hey,
Hey, hey, hey,

Now watch me yule,
Now watch me yule,

I bust the windows out ya car...
