Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
G G/D

Verse:
         G
You were it,
                                 C             G   G/D
You're the one, the only one who understood it all,
            G
And when we fought out loud,
                           A       A6      D
You'd be the one who would make me feel so small,
          G
You could kill, You could hurt,
                                 C            G
You could bring out the worst in everyone you knew,
       D                                     G
But no one could ever bring the worst out of you.

   Am7   C                     G
And I am fine, All the pain is gone,
      Cmaj7  D            D6     G   F E D
I once had a heart, Now I have a song.

             G
And you were sly, You were fast,
                                C               G
You were built to last, And you lasted 'til the end,
G
And I would fight, I would cry and lay down and die,
    A7       A6 D
And then get up again,

              G
And you could kill, You could hurt,
                            Am G7/B   C            G
You could bring out the worst......of everyone you knew,
    D            A    D7            G     F6 E7 D
But no one could ever get the worst of you.
         G/B C                     G
But now I am fine, All the pain is gone,

I once had a heart, Now I have a song.
