Bitter Side Of Sweet Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
[D]
[G]She asked me how

[Verse 1]
[G]
love gets along
With me all by myself
Wonders how I keep from getting
Dust upon that shelf
[C]She wanted to know
how a man like me
Ends up alone, anyway
[G]'Was I breakin' all the
rules of love
And the games that people play
[Eb]I said not too many

[Verse 2]
hangin' round
Of all [D]the ones I meet
In time [G]they always find [C]that I'm [C#dim]on
The [D]bitter side of [G]sweet

[Verse 3]
[G]
[D]She hud[G]dled on the gate
on my block
Where I always catch my bus
An' I hoped it wouldn't stop today,
There'd just be the two of us
But [C]it showed up like it always does,
About twenty minutes late
[G]I told her it'd be right along
But she said she couldn't wait
She didn't [Eb]need any assistance
In putting some distance,
Between [D]us on that empty street
She was [G]of a mind,
In record time [C]that I'm [C#dim]on
The bit[D]ter side of [G]sweet

[Verse 4]
[Bb]
[G]That I [C]act this was [Bb]is really not [G]my fault
It just [C]means all [Bb]the sweet
things [C]I've got to say
Come along [D]with a grain [G]of salt

[D][C][D][C]
[D][G][C][G]
[D](Instrumental) It's no wonder I'm[G]

[Verse 5]
not scoring points,
I'm always out of bounds
[C]If [G]any wise willed words convince the point,
I'm foolish by the pound
[C]An' a fool can see no one
believes
What's rollin' off my tongue
[D]An' I[G]'ve never seen a recipe
For sweet talkin' any[C]one
I could [Eb]have written a book on
The lessons I took
In the [D]agony of defeat
An showed you [G]all the signs
Between [C]the lines [C#]on
[D]The bitter [G]side of sweet
