Intro riff is a D chord shape on the 7th fret, then 8th fret on high E whilst holdng that shape then a the
 other shape is 7th fret on the G and B and 5th fret on high E. Hope that makes sense!! 

[Verse]
D       (Strum palm muted D through first verse until drums kick in)
You are my sword.
Your love is its own reward.
My heart, I have found,
Gets carved surely by the pound.
              

[Verse]
God knows. I tried,
Tried to hold you with all my might
But time has won,
And I could never be that strong.

[Chorus]
           
(Don't cry) I 

   
couldn't be th

at strong,
(Don't cry) That used to be my favourite song.
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
Fill my eyes whenever we meet,
 A    G                        (On the A they hit 3rd and 4th fret on the A string also here)
It's always bittersweet.

[Verse]
           
I cut and I bl

    
eed.
You seem to find that so hard to believe!
That's just too, too bad.
You could never touch the love that we had.

[Chorus] 
           
(Don't cry) Fo


r 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.
A    G                          (On the A they hit 3rd and 4th fret on the A string also here)
It's always bittersweet.

[SOLO]             

[Chorus]
           
(Don't Cry) Fo

  
r a love-gone-

wrong
(Don't cry) That used to be my favourite song
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
Fill my eyes whenever we meet.
A     G                        (On the A they hit 3rd and 4th fret on the A string also here)
Anyway...

[Verse]
           
We've grown an


d times change

.
When we meet now it feels so strange.
I hold you like a sword
You won't cut me like you did before.
It's always bittersweet.
E  A    D  A  til end with little guitar solo bit
