(Much easier than the chords names suggest. See the chord definitions below.
It's pretty much just Am to C x 4, but you lift your 2nd and 3rd finger off
the Am to make the Am7add11 and for C/G to Csus2add6/G, move your 2nd
finger from the 4th string 2nd fret to the 3rd string 2nd fret, then back
then open 4th for a Csus2/G. When the strumming gets a little more
enthusiastic you may hit the 6th string occasionally in which case the Am
and Am7add11 would suffix /E as the bass note, but this is a song for
raucous enjoyment rather than worrying about the technicalities of what
chords you're playing! Listen for the strumming pattern.)
Verse 1:
[Am]Weep for yourself, my man,
you'll never be what is in your[C/G] heart.
[Am]Weep little lion man,
you're not as brave as you were at the [C/G]start.
[G]Rate yourself and rake yourself,
[F]take all the [Fmaj7b5/E]courage you [Am7add11]have l[C/G]eft.
[G]Wasted on fixing all the
[F]problems that you[Fmaj7b5/E] made in your [Am7add11]own h[C/G]ead.
Chorus 1: (1 strum on each Am, F and C/G)
But it wa[Am]s not your f[F]ault but mi[C/G]ne,
and it wa[Am]s your hear[F]t on the l[C/G]ine.
I really [Am]fucked it [F]up this t[C/G]ime,
didn't I, my [G]dear?[Gadd9]
[G]Didn't I, my d[Am]ear?
Interlude:

Verse 2:
[Am]Tremble for yourself my man,
you know that you have seen this all be[C/G]fore.
[Am]Tremble little lion man,
you'll never settle any of your [C/G]scores.
[G]Your grace is wasted in your face,
your [F]boldness stands [Fmaj7b5/E]alone among [Am7add11]the [C/G]wreck.
[G]Learn from your mother or else
[F]spend your days [Fmaj7b5/E]biting your [Am7add11]own [C/G]neck.
Chorus 2:
But it wa[Am]s not your f[F]ault but mi[C/G]ne,
and it wa[Am]s your hear[F]t on the l[C/G]ine.
I really [Am]fucked it [F]up this t[C/G]ime,
didn't I, my [G]dear?
But it wa[Am]s not your f[F]ault but mi[C/G]ne,
and it wa[Am]s your hear[F]t on the l[C/G]ine.
I really [Am]fucked it [F]up this t[C/G]ime,
didn't I, my [G]dear?
Didn't I, my dear?[Am]
