Dm
I'm writing the words to this song with a poison pen
Bb Dm
I'm turning the straw into gold and then back again
F C Gm
When you used to be my friend
F C Gm F
Before you turned your back on me in the end
Bb Dm
I'm building a box made of wood from a tree that I grew
Bb Dm
I'm sewing the lining in silk that I spun just for you
F C Gm
And I lay you to rest
F C Gm A
I put flowers on your chest, on your chest
[Chorus 1]
Bb C Dm Bb
And it's happened again
G Dm F A
Pull a fast one on me
Bb C Dm Bb
And I've got to be dumb
G Dm F A
If it's always in fun
[Verse 2]
Bb Dm
I'm digging a hole with my hands six feet in the ground
Bb Dm
I'm chiseling this epitaph on a stone that I found
F C Gm
Meet this friend indeed
F C Gm F
May he rest in peace and get on with
Bb Dm
I'm learning to live with the guilt of remembering
Bb Dm
I'm willing to try to forgive and forget this thing
F C Gm
That's gone on too long
F C Gm A
You were right, I was wrong, so wrong
[Chorus 2]
Bb C Dm Bb
And it's happened again
G Dm F A
Pull a fast one on me
Bb C Dm Bb
And I've got to be dumb
G Dm F A
If it's always in fun
G
Repeat verse chords during solo
[Bridge]
F C Gm
But enough's enough
F C G
Hold my breath while I pass
A
While I pass you by
[Outro]
Bb C Dm Bb
And it's happened again
G Dm F A
Pull a fast one on me
Bb C Dm Bb
You can undo what you've done
G Dm F A
And it's always in fun
Bb C Dm Bb
If it happens again
G Dm F A
Pull a fast one on me
Bb C Dm Bb
Then I've got to be dumb
G Dm F A
And in more ways than one
Bb C Dm Bb
And it's always in fun
G Dm F A
And in more ways than one
Bb C Dm Bb
And it's always in fun
G Dm F A
And in more ways than one
Bb C Dm Bb
And it's always in fun
G Dm F A
And in more ways than one
