A                           C#m
In your white lace and your wedding bells
Bm           D              F#m
You look the picture of contented new wealth
A                                   C#m
But from the on-looking fool who believed your lies
F#m                          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
Out of grey skies to change my misery
A                             C#m
The vacant spot, your beating heart took its place
F#m                               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
The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows

[Chorus]
D                     Bm
The bitterest pill is mine to take
D                                   C             Bm       D
If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel any more ill
D                     Bm 
The bitterest pill is mine to take
D                                   C             Bm       D
If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel any more ill

[Verse 3]
A                                  C#m 
Now autumn's breeze blows summer's leaves through my life
Bm          D               F#m
Twisted and broken dawn, no days with sunlight
A                              C#m
The dying spark, you left your mark on me
F#m                       A
The promise of your kiss, but with someone else 
Bm            A       G          A
The bitterest pill is mine to swallow
Bm         A              G            A
The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows
