VERSE: 
   D               Bb°  Bm7     G 
It seems you wanna give me 
      D/A            Em  D/A 
Oh, a life time of security 
             Bb°   Bm7          G 
Down on your dying knees 
  D/A                Em         D/A 
I watch you, babe, I watch you plead 

PRE-Chorus: 
         Em                       D/Gb 
But your words come much too late 
            Em                    D/Gb 
My love for you has turned to hate 
              Bm 
'Cause you've taken too much time 
   Am7 
To show me that you're mine 


Chorus: 
       Em       Bm 
When I drop you boy 
             G      D/A 
You'll need another toy 
               Em       Gb7    Bm 
One that won't stand up for herself 
       Em        Bm 
When I knock you down 
             G      D/A 
You'll need another town 
                Em     Gb7     Bm 
Where somebody's gonna talk to you 
         Em     Bm 
You just let me wait 
G            D/A 
Now it's too late 
           G                D 
For your delayed, delayed devotion 


VERSE 2 (chords see above): 
You try to convince me 
Oh, about the possibilities 
But I know that all your poetry 
Just comes from insecurity 

PRE-Chorus 2 (chords see above): 
'Cause your actions speak nothing no more 
When it's what I've been waiting for 
'Cause you've taken too much time 
To show me that you're mine 

Chorus (chords & lyrics see above)  

BRIDGE (chords like in the PRE-Chorus):  
You played me for a fool for too long 
Blinded by your lies I never saw your all 
I'm no longer under your spell 
Hear it in a song 
You can go to Hell 

Chorus (chords & lyrics see above)
