♫ Intro:

 G+G | B minorBm | E minorEm | E minorEm  D/F#D/F# :


♫ Verse 1:
      G+G
When you'd yell I would stay silent
      B minorBm
You never noticed I was quiet
    E minorEm                    D/F#D/F#
I was taught that speaking up was talking back
    G+G
Always first to say, "I'm sorry"
     B minorBm
'Cause I wanted you to like me
    E minorEm                     D/F#D/F#
And I thought that's what it took to make it last

♫ Pre-Chorus:
    C majorC
It's a lose-lose
    D MajorD
That I don't choose
   C majorC                  C minorCm
But you don't always choose the ones you love


♫ Chorus:
E minorEm      C majorC    G+G
 I shouldn't have to be the bigger person
E minorEm      C majorC        G+G
 How come I have to break to keep us working?
   E minorEm      C majorC    G+G         B7B7
It's always up to me even though it shouldn't be
   C majorC                 C minorCm
I'll take the blame the way you want me to
                 G+G   B minorBm  E minorEm   D/F#D/F#
'Cause that's what I'd do for you


♫ Verse 2:
    G+G
I was half of this dynamic
    B minorBm
I was stable, you were manic
  E minorEm                   D/F#D/F#
Without you or with you, comes with a cost
   G+G
I got used to the excuses
   B minorBm
And emotional abuses
  E minorEm                   D/F#D/F#
We kept moving the lines we'd never cross

♫ Pre-Chorus:
    C majorC
It's a lose-lose
    D MajorD
That I don't choose
   C majorC                  C minorCm
But you don't always choose the ones you love


♫ Chorus:
E minorEm      C majorC    G+G
 I shouldn't have to be the bigger person
E minorEm      C majorC        G+G
 How come I have to break to keep us working?
   E minorEm      C majorC    G+G         B7B7
It's always up to me even though it shouldn't be
   C majorC                 C minorCm
I'll take the blame the way you want me to
                 A minorAm
'Cause that's what I'd do for you


♫ Post-Chorus:
          D MajorD            G+G
I always think it's over but it never really is
             E minorEm   E MajorE        A minorAm
'Cause I can't get the closure when you're like this
     D MajorD
Can we switch


♫ Bridge:
E minorEm      C majorC      G+G
 Maybe this time you'll be the bigger person
E minorEm          C majorC        G+G
 'Cause I'm getting tired of bearing all your burden
   E minorEm       C majorC      G+G        B7B7
It should be up to you, but you won't admit the truth, ooh-ooh


♫ Chorus:
E minorEm      C majorC    G+G
 I shouldn't have to be the bigger person
E minorEm      C majorC        G+G
 How come I have to break to keep us working?
   E minorEm      C majorC    G+G         B7B7
It's always up to me even though it shouldn't be
   C majorC                 C minorCm
I'll take the blame the way you want me to
                N.C.
'Cause that's what I'd do for you
