 E
Can't even see, They're naked and they're followin' my master
who's

A (distortion on)
blind and my mind's gone to pieces I could use some peace of
 mind
 AD
So I picked up the pieces and I made a new start stole an old
stiletto

 E
started stabbin' in the dark and I can't live without it I
would

 A
surely fall apart, but it's hard to make arrangements round a

bittersweetheart

Chorus:

 DE
 Bittersweetheart, Bittersweetheart

 ADDE
 Better get yourself a little street smart bittersweetheart sad
but true

A D E(palm mute)
It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure

(with chorus riff) A D E
 ADE
 It's just my bittersweetheart, bittersweetheaaaaart,
bittersweetheart

Verse II:

 A
It's like a suicide mission when you can't see no end

 D
tired of compliment fishin' and impressin' your friends

 E
I never kissed no one just to kiss and tell

 A
It's a little bit of heaven and a whole lotta hell

 A
In the eye of the beholder is a beautiful start

 D
but you always seem to end up with a bittersweetheart

 E
there's a darkness loomin' but the sun is shining bright

 A
I can live to see the morning if I stay up all night

Chorus:
 DE
 Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart

 AD
 without a shortcut without a headstart

 DEA
 Bittersweetheart sad but true it's a bittersweetheart

D E(p.m.) A
that's a hard heart to cure, my bittersweetheart
(w/chourus riff)
 DEADE
It's the hardest part, bittersweetheart    

Bridge:
 DE
 Are you in there are you beating

 AD
 Beating me up until I'm bleeding

 DEDE
 How much blood can you spare?

Chorus:
 DE
 Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart

 AD
 Think just a drink might get you to the good part

 DE
 lyin'in bed just wonderin' what to do

A D E(p.m.)
It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure
