G                           C
The nurse should not be the one
          Dm       G
who puts salt in your wounds
G                                    C
But it's always with trust that the poison
    Dm          G
is fed with a spoon
            A#
When you're helpless with no one
    D#       D        G
to turn to alone in your room

You would swear that the one
who would care for you never would leave
She promised and said, you will always
be safe here with me
But promises open the door to be broken to me

Chorus:
        G
No I'm never, no I'm never,
no I'm never gonna let you down now
No I'm never, no I'm never,
no I'm never gonna let you down
No I'm never, no I'm never,
no I'm never gonna let you down now
No I'm never, no I'm never,
no I'm never gonna let you down

The maid that you've hired could
never conspire to kill
She's to mother, not quietly smother
you when you're most ill
The one that you're trusting
suspiciously dusting the sill

Chorus
