[Intro]
G C C D
 
[Verse 1]
G            C                         D
Baby, I know pain is as natural as the rain
       G                 C           D
I just thought it didn't rain in California
G            C                            D
Baby, I know love isn't what I thought it was
            G             C                D
'Cause I've never known a love like this before ya
 
 
G C C D x2
 
G            C                           D
Baby, I know dreams tend to crumble at extremes
       G                       C                 D
I just thought our dream would last a little bit longer
          G               C                            D
There's a time when every man draws a line down in the sand
      G                      C              D
We're surviving, we're still living, are we stronger?
    G   C     D
Hoo Hoo
    G   C     D
Hoo Hoo
 
 
[Chorus]
            C                        D
You've been cheating on, cheating on me
          G                        C
I've been cheating on, cheating on you
            G               C
You've been cheating on me
              D
But I've been cheating through
     G    C   D
this life      and all its
G         C   D
suffering
   G      C   D
Oh Christ,     am I good for
G         C   D
nothing?
 
 
[Verse 2]
G            C                             D
Baby, I know hate is always waiting at the gate
       G                     C                        D
I just thought we locked the gate when we left in the morning
    G               C                             D
And I was told that war is how we landed on these shores
       G                    C               D
I just thought the drums of war beat louder warnings
    G   C     D
Hoo Hoo
    G   C     D
Hoo Hoo
 
 
[Chorus]
            C                        D
You've been cheating on, cheating on me
          G                        C
I've been cheating on, cheating on you
            G               C
You've been cheating on me
              D
But I've been cheating through
     G    C   D
this life      and all its
G         C   D
suffering
   G      C   D
Oh Christ,     am I good for
G         C   D
nothing?
 
 
[Verse 3]
G            C                              D
Baby, I know death probably hasn't happened yet
         G              C                  D
'Cause I don't remember living life before this
    G            C                              D
And darling, our disease is the same one as the trees
   G                      C           D
Unaware that they've been living in a forest
    G   C     D
Hoo Hoo
    G   C     D
Hoo Hoo
 
 
[Chorus]
~(single strum)~
            C                        D
You've been cheating on, cheating on me
          G                        C
I've been cheating on, cheating on you
            G               C
You've been cheating on me
              D
But I've been cheating through
     G    C   D
this life      and all its
G         C   D
suffering
   G      C   D
Oh Christ,     am I good for
G         C                           D
nothing?     (I've been cheating through)
 
~(regular strum)~
     G    C   D
this life      and all its
G         C   D
suffering
   G      C   D
Oh Christ,     am I good for
G         C   D
nothing?
