Verse 1:
     G
Oh, dark day
       Am                 F
Was I just someone to dominate?
          G                    Am                             F
Worthy opponent, flint to my blade, now we're playing with shadows
                G                           Am
At the Sunset Tower, you said, "Open your mouth"
    F
I did

Pre-chorus:
                  G                            Am
And what came spilling out that day was the truth
               F
If I've had virginity, I would have given that too

Chorus:
          G    Am                  F
Why do we run, run to the ones we do?
          G           Am  F
I don't belong to anyone

Verse 2:
      G
Oh, dark day
       Am                 F
Was I just young blood to get on tape?
                                 G
'Cause you dimed me out when it got hard
                               Am
Uppercut to the throat, I was off guard
                             F
Pure heroine mistaken for featherweight

Pre-chorus:
                       G                      Am
But what came spilling out that day was the truth
                   F
And once I could sing again, I swore I'd nevеr let
                           G
Let myself sing again for you, oh-oh-oh
    Am
Oh-oh-oh
         F
Oh-woah-oh-oh
N.C.
Singing


Chorus:
                  G Am              F
Said, "Why do wе run to the ones we do?"
           G         Am    F
I don't belong to anyone, ooh
            Dm                Em
I made you God 'cause it was all
                   F
That I knew how to do
               Dm       Em     F
But I don't belong to anyone, ooh

Outro:
                       Dm7
Am I ever gonna love again?
                        Em7
Am I ever gonna love again?
                        Fmaj7
Am I ever gonna love again? Ooh
                      Dm7
Am I ever gonna love again? (Am I ever gonna love again? Tell it to the rock doves)
                            Em7
Will you ever feel like a friend? (Sing it to the fountain)
                      Fmaj7
Am I ever gonna love again?

Do you understand?
Tell it to him
