[Dm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[A] She says, what is it that [G] I've done that you want me [F] to be punished?
_ [C] _ _ _
[A] She woke up one day to [G] find that you'd started [F] to vanish.
_ _ [C] But if you [G] overhear my _ [Dm] sins, perhaps you should not [G] be blessed at [D] all.
Switch the [F] vigil in place, make a sore [G] sour face, set the [A] scandalized _ Weston ran. _ _ _
[Em] She's out on a fall [D] with the rest of [A] the witches,
[Em] let the kids read about a [D] girl who's been to [A] bed with the witches.
[Dm] She picks up the pill, [Em] pays off the medicine,
[F] cause everybody knows that she's dead and [Dm] so is he.

[Bm] Once upon a time, before he turned strange,
[Am] she thought they would be [C] together for a better life.
[Bm] Now look at her now, my, how things have changed.
[F] He can't stand the sweet smell [Em] of any girl.
[Bm] Oh, _ _ [Ab] just the way, [C] and turn it from a candy [Am] to a caramel.
[Bm] And make her hate the silhouette [Em] that she used to feel.
[C] And say I don't [F] love her _ myself.
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ Now the smith of the birthday [G] cake is very beautifully [F] _ _ [C] frosted.
_ _ An [Am] absent father picks up the [G] phone to find the numbers [F] and goods to.
_ [C] _
But by the kids [G] that's distracted, _
[Dm] _ they don't know that [G] she's nervous at [D] all.
But how [F] long will it take not to make a [G] mistake when a gentleman [A] _ _ _
comes to call?
_ [Em] She's out on a fall [D] with the rest of [A] the witches,
[Em] have some kids head down, [D] they're losing to the [A] bed of witches.
[Dm] They already know [Em] how a woman may advance,
[F] from a pretty picture hat [Em] to a supermarket trend.
[Dm] And if he's unkind, [Em] he might as well forget,
[F] cause everybody knows that she's [F] dead.
_ _ _ It's [Dm] so bitter, _ [E] _ _ _
[Dm] bad sugar.
_ _ [E] _ _ It's [Dm] so bitter, _ _ [E] _ _ _
[Dm] bad sugar.
