What A Shame

 
    Bm 
You sold me a lie 
               G 
you swear you meant at the time 
       D                                A                  Bm 
What good are good intentions when you know that I'm dying 
G              D  A 
Because of you 
      Bm 
I'm spinning my wheels 
               G 
because it's painfully clear 
         D                               A                     Bm 
I've become an inconvieience that you don't want to deal with 
G                    D   A 
so you cut me loose 
 

 
               Bm           G                 D                 A 
Some day I'll bump into someone who knew us both when we were young 
              Bm                  G 
And I can predict what they will say: 
                 D                A 
I thought you'd make it, what a shame 
               Bm           G                 D             A 
And I'll only nod, to be polite inside I'm screaming so did I 
Bm 
so did I 
 

 
      Bm                            G 
Our souls are the same in ways that I can't explain 
   D                             A                    Bm 
eventually you'll see it, but I won't be here waiting 
G            D    A 
until you do 
 

 
               Bm           G                 D                 A

                  Bm          G           D          A            Bm         G 
It's like we got matching tattoos except you didn't say yours was only temporary 
            D         A 
Until you washed me away 
        Bm              G                 D               A 
And I thought I left a mark on you, but couldn't find a trace 
             Bm           G            D            A             Bm 
and I tried so hard to remove you but I can still feel your stain 
G             D       A 
What a shame what a shame 
 Bm    G 
Ohhhhh 
D       A 
Ohhhhh
