You are my sword
{etc..}
Your love is its own reward.
My heart, I have found,
Gets carved surely by the pound.
GCGDGCGDGCGD
God knows. I tried,
GCGD
Tried to hold you with all my might
GCGD
But time has won,
GCGD
And I could never be that strong.
(Don't cry) I couldn't be that strong,
(Don't cry) That used to be my favourite song.
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
GD {riff 1}
Fill my eyes whenever we meet,
GD
It's always bittersweet.
I cut and I bleed.
You seem to find that so hard to believe!
That's just too, too bad.
You could never touch the love that we had.
(Don't cry) For the love we had,
(Don't cry) Sometimes we try to take it back.
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
Kiss my cheeks whenever we meet.
It's always bittersweet.

Anyway...

We've grown and times change.
ADAE
When we meet now it feels so strange.
ADAE
I hold you like a sword
ADAE
You won't cut me like you did before.
ADAE {four times}
It's always bittersweet.
It's always bittersweet.
It's always bittersweet.
Bittersweet, bittersweet
