G (320003@1)  C (x32010@1)            G (320003@1) CPity, (x32010@1) take pity on me
                Am (x02210@1)              C (x32010@1)      GBecause (320003@1)I'm not half the man that I should be
           G (320003@1)     C (x32010@1)  G (320003@1)  CI'm (x32010@1)always turning   to run
         Am (x02210@1)            C (x32010@1)    GFrom (320003@1)the people I should not be afraid of

            Am (x02210@1)      C (x32010@1)         G (320003@1)That I have fantasies about being alone
                    G (320003@1)       C (x32010@1)
It's like love is a lesson
             G (320003@1)      C (x32010@1) 
That I can't learn
              Am (x02210@1)             C (x32010@1)           G (320003@1)     
So I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn
