Suffer

I hope to transcribe the lead guitar at some point in the future,

but i thought I'd do the chords in the meantime to give something to improvise over.

Play in an offbeat ska style using chord shapes high up the neck (7+).

Sometimes adding a Dmajor for one beat after the Bm in the chorus sounds good

Improvise using Em pent.

enjoy!

[Chorus x2]

I'm gonna suffer for you no longer

I'm gonna suffer for you no more

I'm gonna write you out of my life

and shut the door

You tried to drive a wedge between me and my friends

You pushed me to the edge time and again

I've been living in your shade since I can't remember when

Now I'm bringing this charade to an end

[Chorus]

There was subtlety and skill in your manipulative ways

You chipped away my will so you could make me stay

You soothed me with your voice until I obeyed

but I'm making my own choice from today

[Solo]

You used the tongue of love like a boxer uses fists

You contained me like a glove or a creeping cloak of mist

You guaranteed the stars but there always was a twist

Now I see you as you are - Egotist !

[Chorus x2]

I've got a ticket in my hand and I must be moving on

but I want you to understand that from the moment I am gone

I release and let you go - you owe nothing now to me

I'm not angry anymore - I'm free !

[Chorus to finish]
