Another grand surprise
G           Em       Dm
Your rapier wit cut me down to size

You love to pass your time
G           F           C      Bb         F
Looking for ways to play the thorn in my side
      G      F
It's deja vu one more time

[Chorus 1]
   C             Bb     G         Dm
Whoever said to take it on the chin
   C               Bb         G     Dm
Whoever said that good guys always win

My little atom bomb

This is the last time you'll Do me wrong
G         Em       Dm
So listen when I speak
G         C                 Bb     F
I can't Go on forever turning my cheek
G                      F
Your whipping boy's about to speak

[Chorus 1]

Whoever said that good guys always win

A victim of romanticide again

[Bridge]
Bb                             A7       Em
I've paid my bills and cleaned out my closet
  Dm                      G
Slammed the front door tight
Bb                     Em
I can't believe that I ever thought
         Dm                 G
This all would work out right

Whoever said that good guys always win
C                   Bb     A7      Dm
Has never seen the sorry state I'm in
  C           Bb      A7 G
A victim of romanticide again

[Chorus 2]
   C             Bb     G         Dm
Whoever said to get down on your knees
   C               Bb         G     Dm
Give your ground, or try your best to please
C                   Bb     A7      Dm
Has never seen my lonely misery
  C           Bb      A7 G
A victim of romanticide, that's me
