Capo on 3rd fret
Intro: G G/F#
G G/F#
Verse 1:
G G/F#
I have nightmares each week 'bout that Friday in May
G G/F#
One phone call from you and my entire world was changed
Em
Trust that you betrayed, confusion that still lingers
Em
Took everything I loved and crushed it in between your fingers
G G/F#
And I doubt you ever think about the damage that you did
G G/F#
But I hold onto every detail like my life depends on it
Em
My undying love, now I hold it like a grudge
Em
Now I hear your voice every time that I think I'm not enough
C
And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream
How could anybody do the things you did so easily?
G
And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine
Am
But you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long
Em D C
It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong
Verse 2:
G G/F#
The arguments that I've won against you in my head
G G/F#
In the shower, in the car, and in the mirror before bed
Em
Yeah, I'm so tough when I'm alone, and I make you feel so guilty
Em
And I fantasize about a time you're a little fuckin' sorry
G G/F#
And I try to understand why you would do this all to me
G G/F#
You must be insecure, you must be so unhappy
Em
And I know, in my heart, hurt people, hurt people
Em
And we both drew blood,
But, man, those cuts were never equal
C
And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream
How could anybody do the things you did so easily?
G
And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine
Am
But you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long
Em D C G
It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong
Bridge:
Em Am C
Ooh, ooh-ooh, do you think I deserved it all?
Em Am C
Ooh, ooh-ooh, your flower's filled with vitriol
D
You built me up to watch me fall
D
You have everything, and you still want more
C
I try to be tough, I try to be mean
C
But even after all this, you're still everything to me
G
And I know you don't care, I guess that that's fine
G Am
But you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long
Em D C D
It takes strength to forgive, but I'm not quite sure I'm there yet
Em D C G
It takes strength to forgive, but
