G Em C D
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?

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
And I can never tell if it's worth your while

But I'll take it in the neck

Blistered and burning

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
