Verse 1:
E7#9
We walk hand in hand 'til life does us part
A
me and the world and my scum sweetheart
C7
We met long ago with a flirt and a stare
B7
together ever since a leathal love affair
E7#9
I tried to get out to get up and go
A
I was afraid of the fall, the vertigo
C7
You made me suffer, guilt was your game
B7
You had control of what I became
E7#9
A rotton romance, if I'd stay I'd die
A
t'was a fond farewell when I said goodbye
C7
Now I'm free, on solid ground
B7
No more of you, pushing me around
Chorus: play *Chorus riff
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, You broke my heart
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, You broke my heart
Play Intro chords one more time, then Verse 2:
E7#9
You're the world, full of lies
A
How could I think of a compromise?
C7
It seems to me a solitaire affair
B7
I was in need but you didn't care
E7#9
Please stay away, heartbreaker
A
You're not going to be, my soultaker
C7
I've got friends that want to see you
B7
They'd stay away if they had a clue
Chorus: same as before
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, You broke my heart
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, You broke my heart
Solo: play over the *Chorus riff
Verse 3:
E7#9
It's a black heart that I see
A
It's evil, it's bad and all in between
C7
Whatever it is I'll do my part
B7
To keep you from being a scum sweetheart
(Hold B7 chord for two measures w/ wind effect)
Chorus: Same as before (play the whole thing 3 times)
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, You broke my heart
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, You broke my heart
Outro: Same as verse part
E7#9 A
You're my scum sweetheart
C7
You're the world, You're the world
B7
You broke my heart
