Intro and progression between chorus and verse: Em7, A7, C, B7

Em7   
We walk hand in hand 'til life does us part
A7
Me and the world, my scum sweetheart
C
We met long ago with a flirt and a stare
B7
Together ever since, a lethal love affair
Em7
I tried to get out, to get up and go
          A7
I was afraid of the fall, the vertigo
C
You made me suffer, guilt was your game
       B7
You had control of what I became
   Em7
A rotten romance if I'd stayed I'd die
             A7
T'was a fond farewell when I said goodbye
C
Now I'm free, on solid ground
B7
No more of you pushing me around
       Em7                           A7
You're my scum sweetheart
Am                          B7
You're the world, you broke my heart
Em7                           A7
You're my scum sweetheart
Am                          B7 
You're the world, you broke my heart     Em7
You're the world, full of lies
A7
How could I think of compromise?
C
It seems to me a solitaire affair
             B7
I was in need, but you didn't care
Em7
Please stay away, heartbreaker
A7
You're not gonna be my soul taker
C
I've got friends that wanna see you
B7
They'd stay away if they had a clue

-Repeat chorus-

Em7
It's a black heart that I see
A7
It's evil, it's bad and all in between
C
Whatever it is I'll do my part
B7
To keep you from being their scum sweetheart

-Repeat chorus-
