[A#] Actually, it [B] was [G#m] [C#m] pure [F#m] blamin'
[A] [B]
[E] Why is it [G#m] so
[E] That I've [C#]

[F#m]
Somewhere [B] near [E] the end of the [G#m] world
[F#m] [B] Somewhere near the [E] end
[G#m]
[E] But [C#] till then, no, daddy, [F#m] don't be surprised

Then I [F#] know when [A] I'm to blame
Long [A#] ago
[C#m]
[A] Next [A#] world
[B] [G#m] [C#m] thing [F#m] was
Not [B] your love
[E]
No matter how [G#m] strong
[E] I'm gonna [C#] take you [F#m] down with one little stone
I'm gonna [G#] break you [C#m] down
And see what [E] you're [A#] worth
What [F#] you're really worth
[E] Thank [A]
[E]
you very much.
Good night.
