Short Work Lyrics

CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: G ~ Em D/F# G (2x)
~ Em D/F#
Well, pinch me, won't you pinch me, I think I'm stuck in some bad dream
'Cause, suddenly the things I knew, well they're not quite what they seem
'Cause, weren't you the one who pleaded and begged for me to stay
Told me you can't live without me and then you walked away
CHORUS:
And you made short work of a big dream
You made brown leaves out of all my summer green
You made mincemeat out of my pride
Now I'm leaving and I'm even making short work of goodbye
INTERLUDE: ~ Em D/F# G ~ Em D/F# G ~
Spare me, won't you spare me, can't you spare me that routine
'Cause there ain't nothing in that bucket gonna make this mess come clean
No, I never could forget, oh, the way you turned so cold
And the silence that you kept and all those lies that you told
CHORUS:
When you made short work of a big dream
You made brown leaves out of all my summer green
You made mincemeat out of my pride
Now I'm leaving and I'm even making short work of goodbye
INSTRUMENTAL:
So go ahead, won't you please ask me back, on your knees
You can beg once again, say you just want to be friends
And you can rage, you can cuss, throw a tantrum, make a fuss
And you can cry, you can swear, go ahead, I don't care
CHORUS:
'Cause you made short work of a big dream
You made brown leaves out of all my summer green
You made mincemeat out of my pride
Now I'm leaving and I'm even making short work of goodbye
CHORUS:
You made short work of a big dream
You made brown leaves out of all my summer green
You made mincemeat out of my pride
Now I'm leaving and I'm even making short work of goodbye
I'm leaving and I'm even making short work of goodbye
I'm leaving and I'm even making short work of goodbye
