[Intro]
Bb7 Eb7
Bb7 Eb7

[Verse 1]
                      Bb7
You know, it really is a pity
         Eb7
The way you treat me now
       Bb7
I know you can't forgive me
               Eb7
But forgive me anyhow

           D7
The ending got so ugly
              Gm
I even heard you say
           C7
You never ever loved me
                          F#
But could you love me anyway?

[Verse 2]
                      Bb7
I dreamed about you baby
         Eb7
You were wearing half your dress
         Bb7
I know you have to hate me
                    Eb7
But could you hate me less?

            D7
I've used up all my chances
                  Gm
And you'll never take me back
        C7
But there ain't no harm in asking
                              F#
Could you cut me one more slack?

[Bridge]
D# Bb F Gm
G# D# F

[Verse 3]
                        Bb7
I'm naked and I'm filthy
           Eb7
And there's sweat upon my brow
         Bb7
And both of us are guilty

Anyhow

           D7
Have mercy on me, baby
            Gm
After all I did confess
           C7
Even though you have to hate me
                       F#
Could you hate me less?

[Verse 4]
                           Bb7
It's a shame and it's a pity

I know you can't forgive me
          Bb7
The ending got so ugly

You never ever loved me

          D7
Dreamed about you, baby
                           Gm
I know you have to hate me
        C7
I'm naked and I'm filthy
                          F#
And both of us are guilty (Anyhow)

Have mercy on me baby
