     ( Cm               Cm7 )
  Last night I hit that bed of mine
     ( Cm               Cm6 )
    contented with your bread and wine,
     ( Cm                  Cm7 )
  well fed, well bred, and feelin' fine
     ( G            Eb )
    so how was I to know
     ( Cm            Cm7 )
   I'd wake in bitterness upon
     ( Cm                  Cm6 )
   the first light of this mornin's dawn,
     ( F             Gm )
    discover, Sugar, you were gone,
     ( F                  Cm )
 while I still craved you so?

       G                          Cm
       Sugar, when you leave me I don't know what to do;
       F7                     G              Cm
   I'm sufferin', believe me, all because of you.
       G                          Cm7
       You're just another lover, you're stringin' me along;
     ( Fm                F7 )  ( G                  Cm )
you'll crush me like the others, Sugar, when you're gone.

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

MUTANT CHORUS:
       G                 Cm
       Sugar, at first I knew
     ( Em          F )   ( G               Cm )
       only of the lovely, sweeter side of you.
       G               Cm7
       Never could I believe
     ( Fm            F7 )   ( G               Cm )
   the bitter pain remaining, Sugar, when you leave.

So Sugar, 'though you've knocked me down
and sent me tumblin' to the ground,
I'm positive you'll be around -
I haven't panicked yet.
Your special brand of cruelty
ensures you'll soon return to me -
you couldn't be so mean, you see,
by playin' hard to get.

Sugar, when you leave me I don't know what to do;
I'm sufferin', believe me, all because of you.
You're just another lover, you're stringin' me along;
you'll crush me like the others, Sugar, when you're gone.
