Verse 1:
E MajorE
Phone turned down, front door locked
BB
Just sitting here alone on the live talk
A augmentedA
Hiding out with a six pack
     E MajorE         BB            E MajorE
It's not strong enough to keep me from wanting you back
E MajorE
Trying to not be yours for the taking
BB
But the power of your persuasion
A augmentedA
Wears me down, makes me weak
E MajorE           BB
Lately ain't been on a winning streak
   F# minorF#m     BB
That needs to end
    A augmentedA
So here I am

Pre-chorus 1:
 E MajorE                    BB
I hate the way you smell like someone else's brand of cigarettes
 A augmentedA                    E MajorE      BB
I hate the way I know what I know inside, I just can't prove it yet

Chorus:
  E MajorE                   BB         A augmentedA
I'm moving on, I just haven't passed the point of no return
                  E MajorE
I swear sometimes it feels like the only thing I've learned
     F# minorF#m
Is that I hate the way you lie
   A augmentedA               E MajorE  BB A augmentedA
But damn I love the way you apologize

Verse 2:
 E MajorE
I know right now, wherever you are
    BB
You're probably talking to some girl in a bar
A augmentedA
Buying time and making comeback plans
E MajorE          BB
Thinking of a story I'll understand
       E MajorE
And then you show up here, and fall apart
BB
Make it all about your broken heart
A augmentedA
I'll fight you back the best I can
   E MajorE        BB
For a little while, I think I'll win
     F# minorF#m
But they say this game
    A augmentedA
Always ends the same

Pre-chorus 2:
 E MajorE               BB
I hate the way that I always believe you when you say you've changed
 A augmentedA                E MajorE         BB
I hate the way that I always find out the truth the hard way

Chorus:
  E MajorE                   BB         A augmentedA
I'm moving on, I just haven't passed the point of no return

I swear sometimes it feels like the only thing I've learned

And I tell myself it's okay 'cause no one's perfect
