[Intro]

E minorEm BB x4


[Verse 1]

     E minorEm
A augmentedA lover spurned
     A minorAm
A augmentedA lesson learned
        BB
On love you've got
Your fingers burnt

      E minorEm
Shed bitter tears
       A minorAm
Now love has turned
      BB
The sweet revenge
      E minorEm
Of a lover spurned

      E minorEm
A augmentedA passing phase
     A minorAm
A augmentedA week of love
      BB
But all at once
You had enough
       E minorEm
It pales so soon
        A minorAm
Waned with the moon
      BB
No deep concern
       E minorEm
For a lover spurned


[Chorus]

     B7B7
She'll destroy you with her little games
     E minorEm
See you swallow all the blame
     A minorAm      B7B7
Make you pay in many ways
     A minorAm    Am/F#     B7B7
For the pleasure of watching you squirm

         B7B7
She'll tell her friends to treat you rough
     E minorEm
That you just weren't good enough
     A minorAm      B7B7
Make the going really tough
     A minorAm     Am/F#     B7B7
For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell


[Verse 2]

     E minorEm
And every day
       A minorAm
More guilt to pay
     BB
A augmentedA lesson learned
       E minorEm
From a lover spurned


[Instrumental]

E minorEm A minorAm BB E minorEm


[Speach]

It was all so cosy for you
You had a wife two children
And a beautiful house
And mewell you wanted me
When it suited your needs
And nownow I have nothing
Just a handful of faded photographs
Nothing but a cold empty heart
But I'm not easily forgotten
I'll appear when you least expect
To make you pay
You asked for it that way


[Chorus]

        B7B7
She'll come to get you with a knife
   E minorEm
Write poison letters to your wife
   A minorAm       B7B7
Totally destroy your life
     A minorAm    Am/F#     B7B7
For the pleasure of watching you squirm

        B7B7
She'll make a fool of you at work
     E minorEm
Drag your name through the dirt
   A minorAm         B7B7
Make sure that it really hurts
     A minorAm     Am/F#    B7B7
For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell


[Verse 3]

     E minorEm
A augmentedA lover spurned
     A minorAm
A augmentedA lesson learned
        BB
On love you've got
Your fingers burnt

      E minorEm
Shed bitter tears
       A minorAm
Now love has turned
      BB
The sweet revenge
       E minorEm
Of a lover spurned

      BB
The sweet revenge
       E minorEm
Of a lover spurned
      BB
The sweet revenge
       E minorEm
Of a lo-ve-r spur-ned
