Lou Reed
"Betrayed"
From "🏷Legendary Hearts" (1983)


Chorus:


D                G                     D
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
G                      D
By the one who says she needs you
G                Asus  A
Above all other men
D                  G               D
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
G                  D       G     A    D
Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed

Verse:


D                                      G
Justice taught her confidence her mother was like steel
     Em
Her cousins, they're all convicts
     A                          Asus
She alone rose above that wheel
D
But a motorcyclist no matter how good
      G
Is slave to the oncoming truck
       Em                         A
And the poison of her father was her most pitiless luck


Chorus:

D                G                     D
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
G                      D
By the one who says she needs you
G                Asus
Above all other men
D                  G               D
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
G                  D       G     A    D
Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed


Verse:


D                            G
Three of us lie in this bed, night of infamy
Em                               A
One of us lies on our back, her father's in her head
D
And quick she turns and slaps my face
        G
And with her eyes open wide she screams
    Em
"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!"
             A
But she's looking right past me


Chorus:


D                G                     D
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
G                      D
By the one who says she needs you
G                Asus  A
Above all other men
D                  G               D
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
G                  D        G     A    D        G  A  D
Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed
    G      A   D         G  A  D
And I lie down betrayed
  G    A   D        G  A  D
I lie down betrayed

G  A  D
