[Intro]
D C Bm A D x2
[Verse 1]
A C#m
In your white lace and your wedding bells
Bm D F#m E7
You look the picture of contented new wealth
A C#m
But from the on-looking fool who believed your lies
F#m A Asus4 A
I wish this grave would open up and swallow me alive
Bm A G A
The bitterest pill is hard to swallow
Bm A G A D C Bm A D
The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows, yeah
[Verse 2]
A C#m
When the wheel of fortune broke, you fell to me
Bm D F#m E7
Out of grey skies to change my misery
A C#m
The vacant spot, your beating heart took its place
F#m A Asus4 A
Now watch smoke leave my lips and fill an empty room
Bm A G A
The bitterest pill is hard to swallow
Bm A G A Asus4 A
The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows

The bitterest pill is mine to take

If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel any more ill

The bitterest pill is mine to take

If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel any more ill

Now autumn's breeze blows summer's leaves through my life

Twisted and broken dawn, no days with sunlight

The dying spark, you left your mark on me

The promise of your kiss, but with someone else

The bitterest pill is mine to swallow

The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows
