In Spite of Me by Morphine on Cure for Pain, 1993
**Note**
Simple, plaintive, and timeless.
A protagonist reminiscing on his lost love, made even more sad by the agony he's going through.
The original track features a picked mandolin carrying the melody but these chords are a good approximation.

For a Clong time I thought that you'd be Gcoming back to me
Those Dkind of thoughts can be so Gcruel
So DcruelG

And I Cknow you did it Gall in spite of DmeG
