Did I hurt you that bad, babe?

Bridge:
FF
But with the way it all played out
Was there ever a hope in hell
G+G
That you'd keep close
Sit tight and take it well? No
E minorEm D MajorD
It is a pipe dream at best that you might
G+G
Ever get your head around
How it all went down

Though I live guilt-ridden
Wouldn't dare to take it all back

As I'd not be where I stand
C majorC D MajorD
Nor who I am or where I need to be
