Intro:

Dm*     F*           Dm*           F*
(with the fills just put them in when you feel like it)

Dm*     F*     Dm*     F*


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
rate yourself and rape yourself,
Bb            Am      G        F*
take all the courage you have left
C                           Bb            Am       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)

           Dm        Bb         F
but it was not your fault but mine
           Dm         Bb         F
and it was your heart on the line
           Dm        Bb         F
I really fucked it up this time
           C
didn't I, my dear?
             Dm*       F*       Dm*       F*
didn't I my.....


Verse 2:

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


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

           Dm        Bb         F
but it was not your fault but mine
           Dm         Bb         F
and it was your heart on the line
           Dm        Bb         F
I really fucked it up this time
           C
didn't I, my dear?
             Dm*       F*       Dm*       F*
didn't I my.....


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

but it was not your fault but mine
           Dm         Bb         F
and it was your heart on the line
           Dm        Bb         F
I really fucked it up this time
           C
didn't I, my dear?
             Dm*       F*       Dm*       F*
didn't I my.....

Chorus:

           Dm                    F
but it was not your fault but mine
           Dm         Bb         F
and it was your heart on the line
           Dm        Bb         F
I really fucked it up this time
           C
didn't I, my dear?
           Dm N.C.
but it was not your fault but mine
N.C.
and it was your heart on the line
N.C.
I really fucked it up this time
N.C.
didn't I, my dear?
          F
didn't I, my dear
