Murphy, Murphy darling dear, I long for you now night and day.
       D                          G        D
Your pain was my pleasure, your sorrow my joy
    G             D           A               D

Darcy when I met you I was 5 years too young

a boy beyond his age or so I'd tell someone.

Anyone who'd listen and a few who couldn't care
           G                D             A          D
still I welcomed you with open arms, my love I did share.

You shut me off then you showed me the door.
           G           D             A             D
But you always came crawlin' back, beggin' me for more.
D                          G          D
I showed you kindness, a stool and a tab.
           G            D         A     D
Then you poured me my pain in a dirty glass.
                    D         A          G           A     D
Yeah, you left him bloody, battered, penniless and poor.
             D                              A              D
You know I often stopped to wonder how he made through my door.
           G                           D
With my brother's new non-duplicate registry I.D.
           G                 D                   A            D
Well, you bit off more than you could chew the first day you met me.

Yeah, you got him high but you left him low.
 D                           G            D        G               D

no good cheat.
              G          D                 A           D
Well, that's all in the past bitch cause now I got it beat.

The chords are right for the song, but are way out of order in the verses. You're also missing a Bm to start the third line of every verse. I had to straighten a lot of it out to get to vocals to match up, but it was nice to at least have a starting point.
