[Verse 1]
A C#m In your white lace and your wedding bells Bm D F#m E7 You look the picture of contented new wealth A C#m But from the on-looking fool who believed your lies F#m A Asus4 A I wish this grave would open up and swallow me alive Bm A G A The bitterest pill is hard to swallow Bm A G A D C Bm A D The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows, yeah
[Verse 2]
A C#m When the wheel of fortune broke, you fell to me Bm D F#m E7 Out of grey skies to change my misery A C#m The vacant spot, your beating heart took its place F#m A Asus4 A Now watch smoke leave my lips and fill an empty room Bm A G A The bitterest pill is hard to swallow Bm A G A Asus4 A The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows
[Chorus]
D Bm The bitterest pill is mine to take D C Bm D A D If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel any more ill D Bm The bitterest pill is mine to take D C Bm D If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel any more ill

A C#m Now autumn's breeze blows summer's leaves through my life Bm D F#m E7 Twisted and broken dawn, no days with sunlight A C#m The dying spark, you left your mark on me F#m N.C. Asus4 A The promise of your kiss, but with someone else Bm A G A The bitterest pill is mine to swallow Bm A G A Asus4 A The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows
