Through most of the song or just play E  A


[Verse]
 E      A
Was it wise to believe that
                    E
My sweetness would last?
               A
Those summer nights we spent dreaming
              E
In the tall grass
              A
Behind your parent's home
               E
Nothing good passed


[Verse]
        A
Was it wise to imagine
            E
Our future home?
          A
And the vegetable garden
              E
We'd somehow grow


[Verse]
                    A
Though I've killed nearly every plant
           E
I've ever owned
                  A
And though I've outgrown your love
                          E
Still thought you should know


[Verse]
            A
You were a fool for leaving
                       E
Your shoes out in the rain
                A
When from the depths of the forest
            E
Crawled a scorpion


[Verse]
            A
And in the morning
                               E
Your cries were heard by every Panamanian
            A
You were a fool for falling
                 E
For a cynic like me
         A
If you wanted someone harmless
                E
Baby, that ain't me


[Bridge]
         A
Oh I'm pinching
                         E
Every sweet thing that I see
            A
And your kindness
            E
Intimidates me

[Outro]
             A
Even the memory of
                        F#
The sweetest love that I have known
                        A
Has been menaced by the venom
           E
Of my cynicism
