[Gb] [C] If I [Cm] told you once, I told you a [Fm] thousand times, my dear, never to [G] fall in love with
the man who drinks from the well [Cm]-oiled despair.
I thought from the very start I'd made [Fm] it
quite clear, I fear, now you're [G] righteously fucked as you swing from a rope at the top
[Cm] of the stairs.
[Eb] If I told you once, I told you twice, [Gm] I was held in the grip of incurable [Fm] vice, lips turning
blue like the shade of your eyes, [Ab] limbs shudder and twitch as you met your demise.
[Eb] You must
have looked pretty as you stepped off the chair, [Gm] pink satin slippers how they danced
in the air, [Fm] your dainty tongue swelled to an alarming degree.
[Ab] Hope you were thinking
of me, [G] hope you were thinking of [Cm] me, thinking of me.
If I told you twice, I told you two [Fm] thousand times, my dear, never to [G] fall in love with
the man who's broken beyond [Cm] all repair.
I knew from the very start you'd end [Fm] up right
here, so queer, now you've left [G] me with naught but the suicide note and the lock [Cm] of your hair.
[Eb] If I mentioned it once, I'd mentioned it [Gm] twice, I was bound in the throes of an earthly device,
[Fm] radiance bloomed as I lay you to rest, [Ab]
shadows of moonbeam lighting your [Eb] breast.
Deep in
the ground, in the worms have their [Gm] feast, last you can taste an incurable peace, [Fm] now
that you're dead and you're finally free.
[Ab] Hope you were thinking of me, [G] hope you were
thinking of me, [Cm] thinking of me.

If I told you thrice, I told you three [Fm] thousand times, my dear, never to [G] fall in love with
the man who'd draw you [Cm] into his lair.
I'd warned from the very start the end [Fm] would be
rather severe, now your screams [G] fawn like vaporous stones from your mouth into [Cm] the night air.
[Eb] One time begat twice, then third time's a charm, [Gm] disregarded all obvious signs of [Fm] alarm,
skin milky white as you lie in [Ab] repose, tattered dress stained from the blood I [Eb] suppose, soul
hollow and vacant, devoid of all [Gm] light, your epitaph written on our wedding night, [Fm] as your
muscles were twitching in their final [Ab] plea.
Hope you were thinking of me, [G] hope you were
thinking of [Cm] me, thinking of me, [C] thinking of me, thinking [Cm] of me.
Always [C] thinking of
