In Spite of Me by Morphine on Cure for Pain, 1993
**Note**
Simple, plaintive, and timeless.
A protagonist reminiscing on his lost love, made even more sad by the agony he's going through.
The original track features a picked mandolin carrying the melody but these chords are a good approximation.

[Intro]
D G
[Verse 1]
D G
Last night I told a stranger all about you
D G
They smiled patiently with disbelief
D G
I always knew you would succeed no matter what you tried
[Chorus]
C Em D G
And I know you did it all in spite of me
D G
[Verse 2]
D G
Still I'm proud to have know you for the short time that I did
D G
Proud to have been a step up on your way
D G
Proud to be part of your illustrious career
[Chorus]
C Em D G
And I know you did it all in spite of me
D G
In spite of me
D G
[Bridge]
C G
Late last night I saw you in my living room
C G
You seemed so close but yet so cold
C G
For a long time I thought that you'd be coming back to me
D G
Those kind of thoughts can be so cruel
D G
So cruel
D G
[Chorus]
C Em D G
And I know you did it all in spite of me
D G
In spite of me
