	        VERSE1: 
Cmaj7     C     Cmaj7   C        Em      C 
fourteen years thirty minutes 15 seconds I've 
Em         C 
held this grudge 
Cmaj7   C    Cmaj7   C                    Em     C  
eleven songs 4 full journals, thoughts of punishment  
Em       C 
I've expended 
 
VERSE2: (same chords) 
not in contact not a letter such communication telepathic 
you've been vilified, used as fodder, you deserve a piece of every record  
 
BRIDGE:  
     F                C 
but who's it hurting now? 
F                      C 
Who's the one that's stuck? 
F                   C 
Who's it torturing now  
                 G 
with an antique knot in her stomach 
C F I want to be big and let go of G F this grudge that's grown old C F G F All this time i've not known how to rest this bygone C F I want to be soft and resolved G F clean of slate and released Am G F C I want to forgive for the both of us
VERSE3: Like an abandoned house dusty-covered furniture still intact If I visit it now, do I simply re-live it somehow gratuitous BRIDGE: But who's still aching now? Who's tired of her own voice? Who's it weighing down with no gift from time of said healing
C F I want to be big and let go of G F this grudge that's grown old C F G F All this time i've not known how to rest this bygone C F I want to be soft and resolved G F clean of slate and released Am G F C I want to forgive for the both of us
INTERLUDE: Am C G Maybe as i cut the cord veils will lift from my eyes Am C Maybe as i lay this to rest dead G weight off my shoulders will rise VERSE4: Here i sit, much determined ever ill-equipped to draw this curtain How this has entertained, validated and has served me greatly ever the victim BRIDGE: But who's done whining now? Who's ready to put down This load I've carried longer than I had cared to remember Chorus: I want to be big and let go of this grudge that's grown old For the life of me I've not known how to rest this bygone I want to be soft and resolved clean of slate and released I want to forgive for the both of us
