Verse 1:
Am
Weep for yourself, my man,
                               C
you’ll never be what is in your heart.
Am
Weep little lion man,
                                       C
you’re not as brave as you were at the start.
G
Rate yourself and rape yourself,
C
take all the courage you have left.
G
Wasted on fixing all the
C
problems that you made in your own head.

Chorus: (Sustain C chord)

         C
But it was not your fault but mine,
         C
and it was your heart on the line.
         C
I really fucked it up this time,
             G
didn’t I, my dear?
                  Am
Didn’t I, my dear?

Verse 2:
Am
Tremble for yourself my man,
                                       C
you know that you have seen this all before.
Am
Tremble little lion man,
                                C
you’ll never settle any of your scores.
G
Your grace is wasted in your face,
     C
your boldness stands alone among the wreck.
G
Learn from your mother or else
C
spend your days biting your own neck.


Chorus:
         C
But it was not your fault but mine,
         C
and it was your heart on the line.
         C
I really fucked it up this time,
             G
didn’t I, my dear?
         C
But it was not your fault but mine,
         C
and it was your heart on the line.
         C
I really fucked it up this time,
             G
didn’t I, my dear?
                  Am
Didn’t I, my dear?

Didn’t I, my dear?
