Bitter

• E

Intro: E F#m E/G# F# 

verse 1: 

E                                          F#m  
Lately Iʼve been sleeping alone on my own again  
E/G#                                 F# 
Just me in an empty room on a single bed  
E                                      F#m  
Iʼve been trying all this time just to see  
E/G#                                   F# 
All the reasons you had given just to leave  

 

E 
Why am I so bitter about you babe  
F#m 
I donʼt understand  
E/G#                                            F# 
Was I trying to cash in the fantasy without the reality check  
E                                               F#m 
But I never wanted you to lie to yourself about happiness  
E/G#         A        E/G#          B 
When all you were was just a little lonely  

verse 2: 
Latching on to love like a moth to flame  
But what are we gonna do when the embers start to fade  
I donʼt mean to mess with the master plan  
But when you put out the fire Iʼll just start it again  
I guess Iʼll have to keep my distance for your defense  

verse 3: 
Pull me out of focus keep me in the queue  
Iʼm a tired lover wilting hours in the waiting room  
Embrace the silence when thereʼs nothing left  
You got no room for demons when youʼre self-possessed  


E 
Why am I so bitter about you babe  
F#m 
I donʼt understand  
E/G#                                            F# 
Was I trying to cash in the fantasy without the reality check  
E                                               F#m 
But I never wanted you to lie to yourself about happiness 
E/G#          A        G/E          F#7 
When all you were was just a little lonely 
              F               B 
And all you wanted was the company  

Bridge: 
Whyʼd you let me go  
When you still wanna know  
How much I care If Iʼd still be there  
Whyʼd you set me free  
If you need the sympathy  
Come as you are  
My tongue is undone  

Was I spoilt for love  
Have you had enough  
Wait out the danger  
You donʼt have to ask  
This maudlin moment  
Will soon come to pass
