Intro: E D A (4x)
E D A E D A
Maybe you'll recognize in time
E D A E D A
Maybe one day you will discover
E D A E D A
All the pain that lies behind
E D A E D A
You and your unfortunate love
G C/G G
Somebody might be more
G B
Unsuitable and strange
E G#m C#m F#m
With eyes that offer everything
B A D [E D A (2x)]
And are capable of danger
E D A E D A
My mind turns over lies you told
E D A E D A
Things said to your other lover
E D A E D A
Sweet as they had been to me
E D A E D A
You lay there telling them to each other
G C/G G
Now I stand outside the door
G B
My head is filled with phrases
E G#m C#m F#m
Inside someone's calling out
B A D
Their voices rise in praises
E D A E D A
Five Small Words: "Don't want you me anymore?"
E D A E D A
Five Small Words (well, who is keeping score?)
B A
Coward that you are, you would faithlessly implore
B
"Baby please don't leave me"
A
"Why don't you believe me?"
A [E D A (2x)]
"Why did you deceive me?"
E D A E D A
It didn't take some shiny dagger
E D A E D A
Tattooed fingers grip and hone
E D A E D A
I walked under some dark ladder
E D A E D A
I heard your final loving moan
G C/G G
All your indiscretions are
G B
So merciful and brief
E G#m C#m F#m
Genteel poison sprinkled on
B A D
Your Spa--nish handkerchief
E D A E D A
Five Small Words: "Don't you love me anymore?"
E D A E D A
Five Small Words (well, who is keeping score?)
B A
The coward that you are, you would faithlessly implore
B
"Baby please don't leave me"
A
"Why don't you believe me?"
A [E D A (2x)]

E D A E D A
Maybe in time you'll want me more
E D A E D A
Accidentally like this .45
E D A E D A
This .44
Outro: [E D A (16x)] ... E
