Bittersweet

Am7             Dm7           Em
Don't talk to me in that familiar way
Am7             Dm7           Em
When the keys are in my hand
Am7             Dm7           Em
Don't say that everything is here to stay
Am7             Dm7           Em
And I must try to understand

[Chorus]

       C  C7                            F
When I'm trying not to look into your eyes
Fm                             C
Trying not to listen to your lies
C7                              F
Trying just to keep hold of myself
Fm                                         Am7
Oh but it's hard when you leave me on the shelf

[Verse]

Am7             Dm7           Em
You say that I set a path for you to follow
Am7             Dm7           Em
And I've already given in
Am7             Dm7           Em
But I only meant for you to taste not swallow
Am7             Dm7           Em
Where I end is where you must begin

[Chorus]

  C  C7                         F
So try not to look into their eyes
Fm                           C
Try not to listen to their lies
C  C7                          F
Try just to keep hold of yourself
F    Fm                                            Am7      Dm7     Em
Oh I know it's hard when they leave you on their shelf

[Bridge]

C                   FMaj7
She's such a sweet girl
Fmaj7                        C
Free of the taints of this world
C
Think that's a compliment
Fmaj7
Don't be so full of sentiment
Dm7                    Am7
Why you worship sweetness
Am7                         Dm7
What virtue's there in weakness
Dm7                     Fm                           Am7     Dm7    Em
Being pushed about is nothing much to shout about I know

[Chorus]

   C C7                        F
So try not to look into their eyes
Fm                           C
Try not to listen to their lies
C  C7                         F
Try just to keep hold of yourself
F     Fm                                          C
Oh I know it's hard when they leave you on their shelf
