Through most of the song or just play E  A 
 
Verse
 E      A 
Was it wise to believe that 
                    E 
My sweetness would last? 
               A 
Those summer nights we spent dreaming 
              E 
In the tall grass 
              A 
Behind your parent's home 
               E 
Nothing good passed 
 
Verse
        A 
Was it wise to imagine 
            E 
Our future home? 
          A 
And the vegetable garden 
              E 
We'd somehow grow 
 
Verse
                    A 
Though I've k*lled nearly every plant 
           E 
I've ever owned 
                  A 
And though I've outgrown your love 
                          E 
Still thought you should know 
 
Verse
            A 
You were a fool for leaving 
                       E 
Your shoes out in the rain 
                A 
When from the depths of the forest 
            E 
Crawled a scorpion 
 
Verse
            A 
And in the morning 
                               E 
Your cries were heard by every Panamanian 
            A 
You were a fool for falling 
                 E 
For a cynic like me 
         A 
If you wanted someone harmless 
                E 
Baby, that ain't me 
 
Bridge
         A 
Oh I'm pinching 
                         E 
Every sweet thing that I see 
            A 
And your kindness 
            E 
Intimidates me

Outro
             A 
Even the memory of 
                        F# 
The sweetest love that I have known 
                        A 
Has been menaced by the venom 
           E 
Of my cynicism
