FA I knew all along Dm That I was right at the start Bb bout the seeds of the weeds F That grew in your heart FA Self satisfaction for the factions Dm Who formed to tear us apart Bb Well I gave you the Midas touch m A Oh you turned round and scratched out my heart
DmADm Oh what did you expect DmADm Oh tell me what did you expect C To lay it on my head C So is it all upon my head
FADm Bang bang you're dead BbAGF Oh Im so easily lead FADm Bang bang you're dead BbAGF Put all the rumours to bed FADmDmC Bang bang you're dead
FA I knew all along Dm But I was loathe to believe Bb There was nothing but spite Fury and lies F Of the words that you weave FA An illusion to a conclusion Dm And oh its oh so tawdry Bb When you put it to bed Kick it in the head A Oh wont they just let it be
FADm Bang bang you're dead BbAGF Always so easily lead FADm Bang bang you're dead BbAGF Put all the rumours to bed FADm Bang bang you're dead
