They met before he knew he couldn't stop
    C
The addict and the angel
Am
Broken from the start
               F
When it is was good, it was so good
Am
Easier than breathing
       C
'Til addiction dug it's teeth in
                  Am                          F  Am  C  Am
They learned it's bites bigger than it's bark

Verse 2:
  F                        Am
Naive, she promised him forever
               C                                   Am
She said don't worry babe we'll get through this together

Verse 3:
   F
He swore to her
                   Am
I'll give it all I can
     C
Promises only go
   Am
As far as the man
         F
And it's true he wants to stop
         Am
But it's easier to lie
        C
And the truth scares away
        Am
All the faith inside her eyes
    F
And that will kill him faster
         Am
Than the high he's chasing after
   C                             Am
He knows he's selfish and thinks he deserves to die
            F     Am
And he just might
        C
Oh he just might

Verse 4:
    Fmaj7
She comes to discover
              Am
Two months of sober's just his cover
        C
For two months of hiding it better
Am
Out loud she wonders
   Fmaj7                    Am
It used to be one thing but now it's lying too
         C
How much more have you been hiding
        Am
I don't even recognize you
  F
I fear it's taken over
  Am
I have no self-control
     C
It's poisoned every thought
        Am
I don't own myself no more
  F
I swear to God I love you
       Am
I hate how I love it more
       C
Oh I'd kill it if I knew how to
              Am
It comes back stronger than before

Than before
       F  Am  C  Am
Than before

          F
He said I understand you're leaving
    Am
I'm calling just to see if
C
You'll give me one more chance
         Am
I swear I've changed
