Bitter Pill by Mt Desolation
 Em   Bm   Am   Em   CMaj7   G   Dx2
It seemed so easy at the start
When I left my heart
Sitting on the roof of the car
And drove off
And I rushed to leave the past behind
Forgot that heart was mine
I didn't even know at the time
I had one
CMaj7 G Am Em CMaj7 G D
I put the pedal to the floor
Heading for the western shore
Thinking only of high times
I had there
Em Bm CMaj7 G CMaj7 Em A D
Oh I was cruel, cruel, cruel
I thought I'd fly too high to fall
But I never flew
Never left the ground at all
Em Bm Am Em CMaj7 G D
Greedy to get underway
I made that old mistake
Of sneering at familiar streets
And faces
CMaj7 G Am Em CMaj7 G D
Did you marry someone good
From our neighbourhood
Or are you on the other side of the world
Still searching
 Em   Bm   CMaj7   G   CMaj7   Em   A   Dx2
Oh I was cruel, cruel, cruel
I thought I'd fly too high to fall
But I never flew
Never left the ground at all, at all
So next time, time, time
I'll dream in days or on your mind
Look me up, 'cause I
Never left those days behind, behind
Solo:  Em   Bm   Dm   Am   Dm   G  D  
CMaj7 G Bm/F# CMaj7 G Bm/F# CMaj7 G Bm/F# CMaj7 D
I've done some things I never should have done
Now I've come down, don't tell me that I'm out of time
Turn back your love upon a pie-eyed fool
Forget the things I did
 Em   Bm   CMaj7   G   Bm   CMaj7   Em   A   Dx2
When I was cruel, cruel, cruel
I thought I'd fly too high to fall
'Cause I never flew
Never left the ground at all, at all
So next time, time, time
I'll dream in days or on your mind
Look me up, 'cause I
Never left those days behind, behind
End
Em Bm CMaj7 Em CMaj7 Em A D Em

Bitter Pill by Mt Desolation

Em Bm Am Em CMaj7 G D

It seemed so easy at the start

When I left my heart

Sitting on the roof of the car

And drove off

And I rushed to leave the past behind

Forgot that heart was mine

I didn't even know at the time

I had one

CMaj7 G Am Em CMaj7 G D

I put the pedal to the floor

Heading for the western shore

Thinking only of high times

I had there

Oh I was cruel, cruel, cruel

I thought I'd fly too high to fall

But I never flew

Never left the ground at all

Em Bm Am Em CMaj7 G D

Greedy to get underway

I made that old mistake

Of sneering at familiar streets

And faces

CMaj7 G Am Em CMaj7 G D

Did you marry someone good

From our neighbourhood

Or are you on the other side of the world

Still searching

Em Bm CMaj7 G CMaj7 Em A D

Oh I was cruel, cruel, cruel

I thought I'd fly too high to fall

But I never flew

Never left the ground at all, at all

Look me up, 'cause I

Never left those days behind, behind
