Em Bm Am G

[Verse 1]

G               Am
She takes me out dancin'
C                  G
  She separates my pills
                   Am
She gets away with murder
          C
Takes the money from my pants
          D
Takes the soundness out of days
              Em          D
She takes the same shitty car to work
C              G
Eighteen hours straight
Am                       D
    She tastes just like mercury
Am                       D
    Tempted by something sweet

[Chorus]

           Em                     Bm
And now she takes her time at the end of the night
Am                             G
   And she pours another drink
Em                          Bm
   I picked my words, so the phrasing was right
Am                            G
   She makes it hard to think

[Verse 2]

G                  Am
I learned from my father
C                        G
   What it means to be a man
                        Am
She took moves from her mother
       C
How to fuss and how to fight
       D
How to put my mind at ease
       Em          D
How to love me so tenderly
       C               G
She'll bring me to my knees
Am                       D
    She tastes just like mercury
Am                       D
    Tempted by something sweet

[Chorus]
           Em                     Bm
And now she takes her time at the end of the night
Am                             G
   And she pours another drink
Em                          Bm
   I picked my words, so the phrasing was right
Am                          Bm
   She makes it hard to think
C                          D
   She makes it hard to think

[Bridge]
Em        D       C         G
Why don't you retrace your steps?
C       Bm           G
Tell me what I've missed
Em           D                C       G
I will love you 'til there's nothing left
C        Bm           Am
When you know you're gone
           C
You're so gone
           Am
You're so gone
           C
You're so gone

[Verse 3]
G                        Am
       I held her like a shadow
C                                G
    She looked whole out in the street
G                          Am
   I screamed up at the streetlight
                C
She said, "I'm stuck inside my ways"
         D
Took my heart inside her hand
                Em      D
Said, "It's so easy to love someone"
     C            G
"So hard to be a man"
Am                       D
    She tastes just like mercury
Am                       D
    Tempted by something sweet

[Chorus]

           Em                     Bm
And now she takes her time at the end of the night
Am                             G
   And she pours another drink
Em                           Bm
   I picked my words, so the phrasing was right
Am                          Bm
   She makes it hard to think
C                          D
   She makes it hard to think
