A Lover Spurned chords by Marc Almond

[Intro]

Em B  x4


[Verse 1]

         Em
A lover spurned
         Am
A lesson learned
               B
On love you've got
Your fingers burnt

            Em
Shed bitter tears
             Am
Now love has turned
            B
The sweet revenge
            Em
Of a lover spurned

            Em
A passing phase
          Am
A week of love
           B
But all at once
You had enough
             Em
It pales so soon
               Am
Waned with the moon
           B
No deep concern
             Em
For a lover spurned


[Chorus]

          B7
She'll destroy you with her little games
         Em
See you swallow all the blame
         Am           B7
Make you pay in many ways
          Am        Am/F#         B7
For the pleasure of watching you squirm


                 B7
She'll tell her friends to treat you rough
          Em
That you just weren't good enough
         Am           B7
Make the going really tough
         Am         Am/F#         B7
For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell


[Verse 2]

          Em
And every day
              Am
More guilt to pay
          B
A lesson learned
              Em
From a lover spurned


[Instrumental]

Em Am B Em


[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]

                B7
She'll come to get you with a knife
      Em
Write poison letters to your wife
      Am             B7
Totally destroy your life
          Am        Am/F#          B7
For the pleasure of watching you squirm

               B7
She'll make a fool of you at work
          Em
Drag your name through the dirt
     Am                  B7
Make sure that it really hurts
          Am         Am/F#        B7
For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell


[Verse 3]

          Em
A lover spurned
          Am
A lesson learned
               B
On love you've got
Your fingers burnt

            Em
Shed bitter tears
              Am
Now love has turned
            B
The sweet revenge
             Em
Of a lover spurned

            B
The sweet revenge
             Em
Of a lover spurned
            B
The sweet revenge
              Em
Of a lo-ve-r spur-ned
