Bm                       G                 Bm
I'm the adultress, but I didn't want to be

                  G                Bm
But I'm convenient I make good tea

              G                               Bm   G
I stand accused of the worst crime in history

G                  N.C.            Bm
That's my mystery, I'm the adultress
[Interlude] G Bm G Bm [Verse 2]
Bm               G                                 Bm
I go to the park with a bag of crumbs for the birds

                    G             Bm
That's where we meet without words

                G                         Bm
He takes my hand and stares into the wood

                        G
There's nothing to understand, it's understood
N.C. I'm the adulteress [Interlude] F#m E F#m E [Bridge]
                F#m  E
Look at the fool

              F#m
Made up to go out

E                  F#m  E
She's desperate now

                          F#m
But she's puttin' it about

E                                       F#m
(Look at the spinster) Look at the spinster

E                   F#m
Comin' down off the shelf

E                          F#m  E
(She's in love) She's in love

                 F#m
And she hates herself
[Guitar Solo] Bm G Bm G Bm [Verse 4]
Bm                    G                   Bm
Don't try to stop me, don't get in my way

              G                  Bm
It's too late, I've made my play

           G              A Bm
Does misery love company?

                  G                 N.C.
I'll be in the bar, you'll find me
