Verse 1:

Dm*
weep for yourself, my man,
                 F*
you'll never be what is in your heart
Dm*
weep little lion man,
                     F*
you're not as brave as you were at the start
C majorC
rate yourself and rape yourself,
Bb majorBb      A minorAm   G+G    F*
take all the courage you have left
C majorC              Bb majorBb      A minorAm    G+G     F*
wasted on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head

Chorus: (you can sub in the * chords here if you like)

      DmDm    Bb majorBb     FF
but it was not your fault but mine
      DmDm     Bb majorBb     FF
and it was your heart on the line
      DmDm    Bb majorBb     FF
I really fucked it up this time
      C majorC
didn't I, my dear?

didn't I my.....


Verse 2:

DmDm
tremble for yourself, my man,
                    FF
you know that you have seen this all before
DmDm
tremble little lion man,
                FF
you'll never settle any of your score
C majorC
your grace is wasted in your face,
Bb majorBb          A minorAm  G+G     F*
your boldness stands alone among the wreck
C majorC               Bb majorBb       A minorAm   G+G    F*
learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck
