Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
E    B    E    B F#m A B

Verse 1:
E
Phone turned down, front door locked
B
Just sitting here alone on the live talk
A
Hiding out with a six pack
         E                  B                       E
It's not strong enough to keep me from wanting you back
E

Trying to not be yours for the taking
B
But the power of your persuasion
A
Wears me down, makes me weak
E                      B
Lately ain't been on a winning streak
     F#m          B
That needs to end
       A
So here I am

Pre-chorus 1:
  E                                       B
I hate the way you smell like someone else's brand of cigarettes
  A                                       E            B
I hate the way I know what I know inside, I just can't prove it yet

Chorus:
    E                                     B                 A
I'm moving on, I just haven't passed the point of no return
                                    E
I swear sometimes it feels like the only thing I've learned
          F#m
Is that I hate the way you lie
     A                              E    B  A
But damn I love the way you apologize

Verse 2:
  E
I know right now, wherever you are
       B
You're probably talking to some girl in a bar
A
Buying time and making comeback plans
E                   B
Thinking of a story I'll understand
             E
And then you show up here, and fall apart
B
Make it all about your broken heart
A
I'll fight you back the best I can
      E               B
For a little while, I think I'll win
         F#m
But they say this game
       A
Always ends the same

Pre-chorus 2:
  E                              B
I hate the way that I always believe you when you say you've changed
  A                               E                 B
I hate the way that I always find out the truth the hard way

Chorus:
    E                                     B                 A
I'm moving on, I just haven't passed the point of no return
                                    E
I swear sometimes it feels like the only thing I've learned
          F#m
Is that I hate the way you lie
     A                               C#m
But damn I love the way you apologize

Bridge:
    E                    A                   E
All night, 'til there's sunlight through the curtains
    C#m       B          E                    B
And I tell myself it's okay 'cause no one's perfect

                                    E                 B
I swear sometimes it feels like the only thing I've learned

But damn I love the way you apologize
