(when you)
Verse 1:
Ebm
When you knew that I had given
Cb7
All the kindness that I had
Ebm Gb Db Ebm
Did you think that it might be time to stop
Ebm
When you knew that I was through
Cb7
That I'd done all I could do
Ebm Gb Db Ebm
Did you really have to milk the final drop
Chorus [last half notated in sharp keys to avoid double-flats, e.g. Cb7/Bbb]:
Gb Gb7/Bb
Not content with my mistake
Cb Db
You behaved just like a snake
Gb Gb7/Bb Cb Db
And left me for a wasp without a sting
B D#m/A# B7/A
Tell all [1: my friends 2: the folks] back home
E G#m/D# C#m
That [1: I 2: he] did it on [1: my 2: his] own
F# F#7/E B F7 Bb7
And that to their well-worn cares they should cling

Verse 2:
When you knew that I had given
All the kindness that I had
Did you feel you had to break that lonely vow
When you knew that I was through
That I'd done all I could do
Did you really have to sow that final plow
[repeat chorus]
[repeat instrumental break]
