Weep for your self, my man, you’ll nev er be what is in your heart.

(Dm)Weep, lit tle li on man, you’re not as brave as you were at the start.

And (Csus)waste it on fix ing all the (Bbmaj7)prob lems that you (F)made in (Gm7)your own head.

But it was (Dm)not your (Bb6)fault, but mine.

And it was (Dm)your heart (Bb6)on the line.

I real ly (Dm)fucked it up this time, did n’t I, my dear?

Did n’t I, my...

You’ll (Bb)nev er set tle (Dm)an y of your scores.

Your (Csus)grace is wast ed in your face, your (Bbmaj7)bold ness stands a (F)lone a (Gm7)mong the (F)wreck.

Now (Csus)learn from your moth er or else (Bbmaj7)spend your days (F)bit ing your own neck.

But it was (Dm)not your (Bb6)fault, but mine.

And it was (Dm)your heart (Bb6)on the line.

I real ly (Dm)fucked it up this time, did n’t I, my dear?

But it was (Dm)not your (Bb6)fault, but mine.

And it was (Dm)your heart (Bb6)on the line.
