[Intro]
Am   C   Am   C   x2
 
[Verse 1]
Am
Weep for yourself, my man
                               C
you'll never be what is in your heart
Am
Weep little lion man
                                      C
you're not as brave as you were at the start
G
Rate yourself and rake yourself
F            Fmaj7           C
take all the courage you have left
    G
And waste it on fixing all the
F                 Fmaj7           C
problems that you made in your own head
 
[Chorus]
           Am       F          C
But it was not your fault but mine
           Am         F       C
and it was your heart on the line
         Am        F        C
I really fucked it up this time
            G
didn't I, my dear?
 
Didn't I, my

[Verse 2]
Am
Tremble for yourself, my man
                                      C
you know that you have seen this all before
Am
Tremble little lion man
                               C
you'll never settle any of your scores
     G
Your grace is wasted in your face
     F                Fmaj7          C
your boldness stands alone among the wreck
    G
Now learn from your mother or else
F               Fmaj7       C
spend your days biting your own neck
 
[Chorus]
           Am       F          C
But it was not your fault but mine
           Am         F       C
and it was your heart on the line
         Am        F        C
I really fucked it up this time
            G
didn't I, my dear?
 
           Am       F          C
But it was not your fault but mine
           Am         F       C
and it was your heart on the line
         Am        F        C
I really fucked it up this time
