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.

Em Bm x 4
[Chorus x2]
I'm gonna Emsuffer for you no Bmlonger
I'm gonna Emsuffer for you no Bmmore
I'm gonna Emwrite you out of myBm life
and shut the dEmoor Bm
C You Dtried to drive a Emwedge beDtween me and my Cfriends
You Dpushed me to the Emedge Dtime and aCgain
I've been Dliving in your Emshade since I Dcan't remember Cwhen
Now I'm Dbringing this Emcharade to an Dend
[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]
Em Bm x8
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]
