[Intro]
 Em    Bx4
[Verse 1]
A lover sEmpurned
A lesson Amlearned
On love you've Bgot
Your fingers burnt
Shed bitter Emtears
Now love has Amturned
The sweet reBvenge
Of a lover sEmpurned
A passing phEmase
A week of Amlove
But all at Bonce
You had enough
It pales so sEmoon
Waned with the Ammoon
No deep conBcern
For a lover sEmpurned
[Chorus]
She'll desB7troy you with her little games
See you sEmwallow all the blame
Make you Ampay in many wB7ays
For the plAmeasure of Am/F#watching you sB7quirm
She'll tell her fB7riends to treat you rough
That you jEmust weren't good enough
Make the Amgoing really B7tough
For the pAmleasure of Am/F#watching you bB7urn in hell
[Verse 2]
And every Emday
More guilt to Ampay
A lesson lBearned
From a lover sEmpurned
[Instrumental]
Em Am B Em
[Speach]
It was all so cosy for you
You had a wife two children
And a beautiful house
And mewell you wanted me
When it suited your needs
And nownow I have nothing
Just a handful of faded photographs
Nothing but a cold empty heart
But I'm not easily forgotten
I'll appear when you least expect
To make you pay
You asked for it that way
[Chorus]
She'll come to gB7et you with a knife       
Write Empoison letters to your wife
TotallAmy destroy your B7life
For the plAmeasure of Am/F#watching you sqB7uirm
She'll make a fB7ool of you at work
Drag your Emname through the dirt
Make Amsure that it really B7hurts
For the plAmeasure of wAm/F#atching you bB7urn in hell
[Verse 3]
A lover spEmurned
A lesson lAmearned
On love you've Bgot
Your fingers burnt
Shed bitter Emtears
Now love has tAmurned
The sweet reBvenge
Of a lover spEmurned
The sweet reBvenge
Of a lover spEmurned 
The sweet reBvenge
Of a lo-ve-r sEmpur-ned 
[Outro]

Am/F#

[Intro]

Em B

[Verse 1]

A lover spurned

A lesson learned

On love you've got

Your fingers burnt

Shed bitter tears

Now love has turned

The sweet revenge

Of a lover spurned

A passing phase

A week of love

But all at once

You had enough

It pales so soon

Waned with the moon

No deep concern

For a lover spurned

[Chorus]

She'll destroy you with her little games

See you swallow all the blame

Am B7

Make you pay in many ways

Am Am/F# B7

For the pleasure of watching you squirm

She'll tell her friends to treat you rough

That you just weren't good enough

Am B7

Make the going really tough

Am Am/F# B7

For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell

[Verse 2]

And every day

More guilt to pay

A lesson learned

From a lover spurned

[Instrumental]

Em Am B Em

[Speach]

It was all so cosy for you

You had a wife two children

And a beautiful house

And mewell you wanted me

When it suited your needs

And nownow I have nothing

Just a handful of faded photographs

Nothing but a cold empty heart

But I'm not easily forgotten

I'll appear when you least expect

To make you pay

You asked for it that way

[Chorus]

She'll come to get you with a knife

Write poison letters to your wife

Am B7

Totally destroy your life

Am Am/F# B7

For the pleasure of watching you squirm

She'll make a fool of you at work

Drag your name through the dirt

Am B7

Make sure that it really hurts

Am Am/F# B7

For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell

[Verse 3]

A lover spurned

A lesson learned

On love you've got

Your fingers burnt

Shed bitter tears

Now love has turned

The sweet revenge

Of a lover spurned

The sweet revenge

Of a lover spurned

The sweet revenge

Of a lo-ve-r spur-ned

[Outro]
