Verse 1:
           G                       Am7
It was our third date, and we were in the park
         Em                C
It was a Tuesday in the middle of March
           D                      Em                   C
I said the wrong thing, I knew it in my heart, I guess
            G                  Am7
I read your fortune, I saw the mother wound
          Em                         C
You lit a cigarette, then we were in my room
            D                         Em            C
You took my clothes off, I was in debt to you again

Chorus:
            G                    D              C
I should've known that it was no way to start a conversation
D                     Em           D
Loving you lowered my expectations
                      C           D
Loving you lowered my expectations
            G                D                   C
I should've shown you I'm no saint before it got complicated
D                     Em                 D
Loving me wеnt from a high worth chasing
                             C            D
To something lower than your expеctations

Verse 2:
          G                      Am7
You had a bad night, and your patience was gone
               Em                C
You'd been the good guy for a little too long
            D                         Em                     C
I read your cards right, but I wished I'd been wrong for once
           G                        Am7
It was our third month, you were renting a room
           Em                    C
It was our first fight in the middle of June
           D                       Em                     C
I tried to reach you, there was no getting through for us

Chorus:
            G                    D              C
I should've known that it was no way to start a conversation
D                     Em           D
Loving you lowered my expectations
                      C           D
Loving you lowered my expectations
            G                D                   C
I should've shown you I'm no saint before it got complicated
D                     Em                 D
Loving me wеnt from a high worth chasing
                      C                 D
Loving me went from a wall worth breaking
                      Em                 D
Loving me went from a life worth saving
                             C
