Capo 3

Am7 x02013

Intro:
Am7  G
C    G

Verse 1:
    Am7           G
I'm sure it was nothing
        C                          G
But you never used to bring somebody else along
Am7            G
Used to be our thing
C                         G
Going to a movie, then we wander home
Am7                  G
All these little landmines
C                                    G
All these little things that one can read two ways
Am7                              G
Like when you take every call outside
Am7                              G
Seems that I've forgotten how to read your face

[Pre-chorus
Bm                 Am             D
But I know you too well to get it wrong

Chorus:
               Am    Cadd9      G
If you have to hurt me, hurt me once
               Am    Cadd9    G
If you have to end it, get it done
                   C       D       Em
You have all these choices, I have none
C               G D       C
You're all that I have to lose
         C           G D     C
Couldn't hurt you if I wanted to
D                  Am7     G
   I've decided on you

Interlude:
C   G

Verse 2:
   Am7           G
If you keep it going
     C                             G
Then one by one, the memories will start to blur
       Am7           G
You'll ruin the good ones
      C                              G
But I guess my photo album's none of your concern
      Am7               G
Don't humor me with kindness
        C                            G
There's nothing kind about a hundred small betrayals

Pre-chorus:
Bm                Am                  D
If you love me at all, you'll kill it now

Chorus:
               Am    Cadd9      G
If you have to hurt me, hurt me once
               Am    Cadd9    G
If you have to end it, get it done
                   C       D       Em
You have all these choices, I have none
C               G D       C
You're all that I have to lose
         C           G D     C
Couldn't hurt you if I wanted to
D              Am7  C               G
  I decided on you, I've decided on you

Outro:
               Am7
And if I'm disappointed
            Cadd9                   G
It's 'cause you're not the person I knew
            C      D                   Em
If I had it my way, I'd be kinder than you
    Am7          Em   D        Cadd2
I'm sure I'll forgive you, and soon
     Am7            Em    D      Cadd2
I'm ashamed but I'm proud of it, too
D              G
  I decided on you?
