Verse 1:
                  C    G
I don't wanna be bitter
                     C
I dont wanna be the girl with
                 D
the upside down smile

                         C    G
It's cold enough in the winter
                      C          G
walking through this pain feels like
     A      G    D
a thousand long miles

                  Em7
I'm stuck in the middle
         Am7
of just around the bend
    C
but I keeping breaking down
           D
before I reach the end


Chorus:
            G
'Cause it hurts too much
       D
and I just can't rise above
          C
all the things you said you'd do
         D
but you never follow through
           Em
and I've wrestled with the demons
           C
who keep trying to bring me down
          D
and I've swung my fists
                              C
'cause i just wanna get this over with
            C  G  D
The Bitterness

The Bitterness


Verse 2:
              C    G
It's like a poison
       C
and I can't get it
Am     C    D
out of my veins

             C        G
a deafening noise that
        C       G
keeps pounding down
       Am    G   D
like buckets of rain

                 Em
well there's so many things
                     Am
I know I should be thankful for
           C
so why is it so hard to pick myself
    D
up off the floor?


Chorus 2:
            G
'Cause it hurts too much
       D
and I just can't rise above
          C
all the things you said you'd do
         D
but you never follow through
           Em
and I've wrestled with the demons
           C
who keep trying to bring me down
          D
and I've swung my fists
                              C
'cause i just wanna get this over with
