Cruel Lips Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][Am][D][G]

[Verse 1]
What does [G]it take
to shut your [C]cruel, cruel [G]lips
How could I have mistaken
the [C]kiss for [D]a kiss?
Of [G]all the things you said to me,
of [C]all things to let [G]slip
[C]Oh, what does it [G]take to shut your [Am]cruel,
[D]cruel lips?
[G]

[Verse 2]
How did you finally break my [C]heart,
heart, [G]heart?
How could you turn on your light
then [C]leave me in the [D]dark?
[G]How can I recover from the blue
[C]that made us par[G]t?
[C]Oh, how did you fi[G]nally break my [Am]heart,
[D]heart, [G]heart?

[Verse 3]
Of [D]all the things I have in mind
this [G]wasn't one of [C]them
Of [D]all the strings you
pulled behind my [C]back
You said, "This [G]wasn't one you'd
[Am]ever pull again"
[D][Bm][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]How long must I walk down this lon[C]g,
long [G]road
There's nothing at the end of it
and I'm [C]carrying this [D]load
[G]You don't lift a finger now,
you just [C]stand there and [G]broach
For [C]how long must I [G]walk down this [Am]long,
[D]long [G]road

[Interlude 1]
How long, how long?
[G][C][G][Am]
[C][D][G][C][G][C][G]
[Am][D][G]

[Verse 5]
Of [D]all the things I have in mind
this [G]was not one of [C]them
Of [D]all the strings you
pulled behind my [C]back
You said, "This [G]wasn't one
you'd [Am]ever pull [D]again"

[Verse 6]
[G]Oh, what does it take to stop your sha[C]rp,
sharp [G]tongue
You know I'm not invincible and
[C]those words really [D]stung
They [G]cut me to the marrow and
they cut [C]me to [G]the quick
[C]Oh, how does it [G]take to shut your [Am]cruel,
[D]cruel [G]lips?
[C]Oh, how does it [G]take to shut your [Am]cruel,
[D]cruel [G]lips?
