Tom: D

       D     G       A
On the last time we met
              D
Your love was dead
     G      A
You held my hand
         D
Bit your tongue
G        A
Shut me out
           D
Spilled my blood
G         A
All around


[Chorus]
D     G          Bm         A         D
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
D     G           Bm              A             D
Yeah, I took the poison, praying you'd feel it too
D   G          Bm                A          D
You held your punches back, and I left the room
D     G          Bm          A         D
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you


[intro riff x2]


[Verse 2]
   D
All alone
 G       A
Your ax fell
               D
We dragged you down
G        A
Gave me hell
          D
Made your bed
  G      A
Now you sleep
        D
On your own
G           A
Guess we'll see


[Chorus]
D     G          Bm         A         D
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
D     G           Bm              A             D
Yeah, I took the poison, praying you'd feel it too
D   G          Bm                A          D
You held your punches back, and I left the room
D     G          Bm          A         D
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you

[Bridge]
G                    D  A
I know that you tried
G                       D    A
But you're no friend of mine
         Bm
Falling apart
                  E
You played it the best
                    G
A dame in distress, ooh


[Chorus]
D     G          Bm         A         D
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
D     G           Bm                   A              D
Yeah, I wrapped my neck and prayed that you'd feel the noose
D G        Bm         A         D
I saw the restaurant table for two
D     G          Bm         A        D
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
D     G          Bm         A         D
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
D     G           Bm                    A       D
Yeah, I took the poison, praying you'd feel it too
D   G          Bm                  A        D
You held your punches back, and I left the room
D               Bm         A         D
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
