G    Em
I concede
     C        D
That I had no reason
   G        Em
To bite your hand
    C          D
But I couldn't stand
   Em           C
Any more of your charity
G             D
Your sweet sincerity
Em       C        D
Burned on the way down


  G            Em
I coughed and choked
   C          D
On all of the smoke
            G      Em
That formed in  my lungs
     C        D
Your sympathy stung
       Em          C
Like a slap to the face
    G             D
I collapsed in disgrace
         Em      C         D
And saw you claim the high ground


G            Em            C           D
Are you gonna keep heaping coals on my head
G              Em              C           D
Hoping that the heat takes its toll in the end?
G              Em            C          D
And I can never tell if it's worth your while
    G                  Em
But I'll take it in the neck
           C
Is it over yet?
               D
I'm just gonna sweat this out

 G  Em  C  D

   G        Em
If you don't mind
      C           D
Could I have some time
        G      Em
To just lick my wounds?
      C             D
Don't show me yours too
        Em               C
Hide the hands that were feeding me
G            D
Bandaged and bleeding
  Em      C            D
We said we should move on


    G       Em
You have the edge
   C            D
We should go to bed
        G      Em
But you can't resist
    C           D
You turn it and twist
      Em          C
Can I ask for one courtesy?
G              D
Leave the last word for me
Em            C           D
Don't make me learn to be wrong



G            Em            C           D
Are you gonna keep heaping coals on my head
G              Em              C           D
Hoping that the heat takes its toll in the end?
G              Em            C          D
And I can never tell if it's worth your while
    G                  Em
But I'll take it in the neck
           C
Is it over yet?
               D
I'm just gonna sweat this out


   C         D
If you leave before
       G         D
I wake up in the morning
     C          D         G
I'll see you in hell by tonight
C             D
Blistered and burning
    G           Em
And twisting and turning
         C              D             G
All your words 'til I'm sure that I'm right


G            Em            C           D
Are you gonna keep heaping coals on my head
G              Em              C           D
Hoping that the heat takes its toll in the end?
G              Em            C          D
And I can never tell if it's worth your while
    G                  Em
But I'll take it in the neck
           C
Is it over yet?
               D
I'm just gonna sweat this out
G            Em            C           D
Are you gonna keep heaping coals on my head
G              Em              C           D
Hoping that the heat takes its toll in the end?
G              Em            C          D

C             D
Blistered and burning
    G           Em
And twisting and turning
         C              D             G
All your words 'til I'm sure that I'm right
                C
And even if I'm wrong
        D            G
Well, I still have my pride
