F                            Bb          F
All your Bitterness and Lies Stain like tears in my eyes
Gm   F                        Bb
And a thousand lovesick tunes won’t wash away the wounds In my mind

Gm                    C
         You been seen around you’re a new sensation
Gm                 C
        You got a better deal and you took his invitation
Gm               Bb         C
        You been sitting on his lap and taking his dictation
F              Bb          C
Oh but Mercy       We used to love all day and dry all night

F          Bb      C
Oh Mercy       Jealousy used to whet your appetite
F        Bb           C
Mercy        we were low as dogs and high as kites

Well my friends are indiscrete and I sing Myself to sleep
Gm   F                          Bb
I don’t mind the red wine or the pick-up lines as long as it’s cheep

Gm                     C
         I ask you what’s what and you say I’m all yours
