Bittersweet

E  Dm

[Verse 1]
      C              Bb
Well, this is such a sad affair
     Dm           Gm       F 
I've opened up my heart so many 
         E
times
             Dm
But now it's closed

[Verse 2]
Gm    Dm
Oh my dear
Gm             Dm
  Every salted tear it brings
Gm     F   Em  Dm
Bitter-sweet applause

[Chorus]
Ab  Eb  Ab  Eb  Ab
Eb  Gb   Eb  Gb     Eb Gb   Eb
But when the show's in full swing
Ab  Eb  Ab  Eb  Ab
Eb Ab Eb Ab   Eb Gb Eb Gb Eb 
   Every once in a     while
Gb Eb Gb Eb Gb Eb

Ab Eb   Ab  Eb   Ab Eb  Ab
   High stepping chorus lines
Continúa después del anuncio
Eb   Gb  Eb Gb Eb  Gb Eb Gb Eb
Mean I'm forgetting
Ab Eb   Ab  Eb Ab Eb Gb Eb  
   Mein lul-la-by       
Gb  Eb Gb Eb Gb Eb Gb Eb
liebchen

[Interlude]
Bb  F  Em  C

[Verse 3]
Dm    C       F
  How rich in contrast
Bb
Love can be
    Dm               Gm
Sometimes I'm quite amused
          F
To see it twist and turn
   E    A               Dm
To taste both sweet and dry
Gm              Dm
  These vintage years
Gm              Dm
  Lovers you consume, my friend
   Gm    F      Dm
As others their wine

[Chorus]
     Ab Eb Ab Eb Ab
Nein
Eb      Gb    Eb      Gb Eb Gb 
das ist nicht das ende der Welt
Eb Gb Eb Gb Eb

Ab Eb  Ab Eb     Ab Eb  Gb  
   Gestrandet an Le-ben und 
Eb Gb  Eb Gb Eb Gb Eb Gb Eb
   Kunst
Ab Eb Ab  Eb  Ab    Eb   Gb 
      Und das spiel geht 
Eb  Gb Eb  Gb  Eb  Gb Eb Gb Eb
weiter,   wie man weiss
Ab Eb Ab Eb Ab Eb Gb
     Noch viele 'schoum', 
 Eb Gb Eb Gb Eb Gb Eb
wiedersehen

[Interlude]
Bb  F  C  C7
Dm

[Otro]
    C           Bb
And now, as you turn to leave
    Dm             Gm
You try to force a smile
         F
As if to compensate
     E         G        D
Then you break down and cry
