Kris Delmhorst - Short Work
## NOTE: ~ = bass walk-down from G to Em on the E-string ##
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: G ~ Em D/F# G (2x)
~ Em D/F#
Well, pinch me, won't you pinch me, I think I'm stuck in some bad dream
G C
'Cause, suddenly the things I knew, well they're not quite what they seem
Em D/F#
'Cause, weren't you the one who pleaded and begged for me to stay
G C
Told me you can't live without me and then you walked away
CHORUS:
G Am
And you made short work of a big dream
C D/F#
You made brown leaves out of all my summer green
G Am
You made mincemeat out of my pride
C D/F# G
Now I'm leaving and I'm even making short work of goodbye
INTERLUDE: ~ Em D/F# G ~ Em D/F# G ~
Em D/F#
Spare me, won't you spare me, can't you spare me that routine
G C
'Cause there ain't nothing in that bucket gonna make this mess come clean
Em D/F#
No, I never could forget, oh, the way you turned so cold
G C
And the silence that you kept and all those lies that you told
CHORUS:
G Am
When you made short work of a big dream
C D/F#
You made brown leaves out of all my summer green
G Am
You made mincemeat out of my pride
C D/F# G
Now I'm leaving and I'm even making short work of goodbye
INSTRUMENTAL:
Em D/F#
So go ahead, won't you please ask me back, on your knees
G C
You can beg once again, say you just want to be friends
Em D/F#
And you can rage, you can cuss, throw a tantrum, make a fuss
G C
And you can cry, you can swear, go ahead, I don't care
CHORUS:
G Am
'Cause you made short work of a big dream
C D/F#
You made brown leaves out of all my summer green
G Am
You made mincemeat out of my pride
C D/F#
Now I'm leaving and I'm even making short work of goodbye
CHORUS:
G Am
You made short work of a big dream
C D/F#
You made brown leaves out of all my summer green
G Am
You made mincemeat out of my pride

Now I'm leaving and I'm even making short work of goodbye
C D/F# G
I'm leaving and I'm even making short work of goodbye
C D/F# G C D G
I'm leaving and I'm even making short work of goodbye
