D                   Bm
I get tired of the heart attacks
               A
Every time it rings
                    Bm
I put myself on the waiting list
                       D
And get it all cleared up
                        Bm
You're the one with the attitude
                      A
Don't try and make me out
                      Bm
To be the root of the evil in
                    G
The whole rotten affair

Chorus:
                       Em
Lie back and suffer now
                           Bm G
We've both earned our reward
                       Em
Lie back and suffer now
                           Bm G
We've both earned our reward

Buried deep in the telegram
I'm sure I never got
Was any clue of the whereabouts
Of all the things I'd lost
Just because you were right before
Doesn't mean you're right
To make up now would just vindicate
Every doubt I had

Chorus:
It's not as simple as
How much you think you care
You would never know
When to take the hint
Broken glass aside
My feelings stay the same
Covered head to toe
In blood and fear and spite
