How To Suffer Chords

Palm-muted barre chords, in eighth notes, throughout the whole song.

G
If you could teach me how to suffer
D                   C
I'd never leave you for another
Am
I'll help you clean your plate
    C                  D
And we could erase all our mistakes

G
Remember when I said that I didn't really mean it
    D                C
And you turned away, you turned away
Am
I'll help you clean your plate
    C                   D
And we could repeat our past mistakes

    G
And now who wins?
C             D
Now who's the sucker?
G                            C         D
I've watched more lines slip by than a trucker
G
What are your regrets?
   C          D
Do you have regrets?
    C         D
I'm obviously not done yet

G
Why don't I feel things like you do
    D                        C
And why don't you think that my words are true?
Am
I heard a whisper, a silent small stutter
C                        D
Slight hesitation, "will you be my lover?"

G
If we could just trick each other
D                   C
I'd never leave you for another
Am
You'll think I'm perfect and I'll think you're too
C                         D
We'll fool the world, and I'll love you true

    G
And now who wins?
C             D
Now who's the sucker?
G                            C         D
I've watched more lines slip by than a trucker
G
What are your regrets?
   C          D
Do you have regrets?
    C          Bm
I'm obviously, obviously
C           D            G
You and me, not done yet
