| C  B7 | Em  G | C  B7 | Em |



🤘 Verse 1:
C       B7  Em          G
 All cautions made
every chance was given
C      B7    Em      G
 No effort spared to save what we had
C       B7   Em      G
 All in good faith I would not hesitate
C       B7    Em     G
 To extend myself and lend you my hand

🤘 Chorus:
            Em       B5 Am
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
       C         G5 Em
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
                   B5  Am
Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay
        C          G5 Em
If that were true, it wouldn't matter anyway

C      B7  Em      G
 As tempers fade
and lies forgiven
C       B7      Em      G
 No cause embraced could break what we had
C     B7  Em       G
 In its place
a storm is liftin'
C       B7         Em    G
 I would've thought you could be more of a man

But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
