All the pain that lies behind

You and your unfortunate love

 Somebody might be more

 Unsuitable and strange

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?"

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

 Your Spa--nish handkerchief
