Intro: A D  (x4) 


[Verso 1]

G#              D#m7 
She was full of lies and boredom 
F#         C#               A               E 
It came as no surprise that she would cheat 
               F#            E 
Her nails were long and sharp 
               A 
But she didn't play the harp 
G#            D#m7 
She wasn't an angel I told her 
F#             C#            A 
But she wasn't able to under-stand my words 
E             B 
Rich pickings in reverse 


[Refrão]

C7       Fm 
I wasn't Shakespeare 
     C 
It's simple 
           Bbm 
Did she ex-pect me 
   F# 
To kiss her feet 


[Verso 2]

  A           G 
A very acidic tongue 
        D           C Em 
Waggled in her head 
A 
Life was lots of fun 
   G       C 
At times I had to smile 
   B7             E 
In front of every-one 
              C#m 
We seemed the best of friends 
D               Bm 
Life had just begun 
            C              Am 
When on the roof a tile be-gan to slip 
    B                   G#m             G# 
The house of love caved in and that was it 


[Verso 3]

                D#m7 
She was full of tears by nature 
F#         C#m              A               E 
It came to me so clear that she would creep 
              F#        E 
Her eyes were stale and spun 
             A      G# 
Like marbles in the sun 
             D#m7 
She wasn't a princess I told her 
F#       C#                    A 
And so I witnessed the slaying of my life 
E           B 
That lasted half the night 


[Refrão]

C7         Fm 
I-I wasn't Jesus 
   C7 
Be-lieve me 
C            Bbm 
Our love was seedless 
    F#m7       F#7  G#7 
And incomplete

In front of everyone 
              C#m 
We seemed the best of friends 
D               Bm 
Life had just begun 
            C             Am 
When on the roof a tile began to slip 
    B                   G# 
The house of love caved in and that was it
