[G]Pity,[C]  take pity on [G]me  [C]
Because I'm not [Am]half the man that [C]I should [G]be
I'm always [G]turning [C]  to [G]run  [C]
From the [Am]people I should [C]not be [G]afraid of
And [G]darling, [C]  you should [G]know  [C]
That I have [Am]fantasies [C]about being [G]alone
It's like love is a [G]lesson    [C]
That I can't [G]learn    [C]
So I make the [Am]same mistakes at [C]each familiar [G]turn

I know you can't [Em]hold out [C]forever    [G]
Waiting on a [Em]diamond and a [C]tether    [G]            [D]
From a [Em]boy who won't [C]swim
Who won't [B7]dip his toe [Em]in
Just to [A7]keep you [C]here with [G]him

I've got this [G]habit[C]   [G]I abhor[C]
When we go [Am]out, I'm always [C]watching the [G]door    [G]

As if there's [G]someone[C]  I'm going to [G]see    [C]
Who could out-[Am]do the things that [C]you do to [G]me

I know you can't [Em]hold out [C]forever    [G]
Waiting on a [Em]diamond and a [C]tether    [G]            [D]
From a [Em]boy who won't [C]fly
Who won't [B7]take to the [Em]skies
If he t[A7]hinks you're [C]about to say g[G]oodbye

( Instrumental break )

[G]Pity,[C]  take pity on [G]me  [C]
cause I'm not [Am]half the man that [C]I should [G]be
And I don't [G]blame you[C],  you've had [G]enough    [C]
With all these [Am]empty promise[C]s and countless [G]bluffs

I know you can't [Em]hold out for[C]ever    [G]
Waiting on a [Em]diamond and a [C]tether     [G]           [D]
From a [Em]boy who won't [C]jump
When he's [B7]falls in [Em]love
He just [A7]stands with his [C]toes on the [Em]edge
And he [A7]waits for it to [C]disappear [G]again
