Chorus riff (I'm not totally sure on the rythem here):
[Intro:]
|E7#9 / / / |A / / / |C7 / / / |B7 / / / |
[Verse 1:]
[E7#9]We walk hand in hand 'til life does us part
[A]me and the world and my scum sweetheart
[C7]We met long ago with a flirt and a stare
[B7]together ever since a leathal love affair
[E7#9]I tried to get out to get up and go
[A]I was afraid of the fall, the vertigo
[C7]You made me suffer, guilt was your game
[B7]You had control of what I became
[E7#9]A rotton romance, if I'd stay I'd die
[A]t'was a fond farewell when I said goodbye
[C7]Now I'm free, on solid ground
[B7]No more of you, pushing me around
[Chorus: play Chorus riff]
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, You broke my heart
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, You broke my heart
[Play Intro chords one more time, then Verse 2:]
[E7#9]You're the world, full of lies
[A]How could I think of a compromise?
[C7]It seems to me a solitaire affair
[B7]I was in need but you didn't care
[E7#9]Please stay away, heartbreaker
[A]You're not going to be, my soultaker
[C7]I've got friends that want to see you
[B7]They'd stay away if they had a clue
[Chorus: same as before]
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, You broke my heart
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, You broke my heart
[Solo: play over the Chorus riff]
[Verse 3:]
[E7#9]It's a black heart that I see
[A]It's evil, it's bad and all in between
[C7]Whatever it is I'll do my part
[B7]To keep you from being a scum sweetheart
(Hold B7 chord for two measures w/ wind effect)
[Chorus: Same as before (play the whole thing 3 times)]
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, You broke my heart
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world, You broke my heart
[Outro: Same as verse part]
[E7#9]You're my scum sweetheart[A]
[C7]You're the world, You're the world
[B7]You broke my heart
(End on an E7#9 chord)
