♫ Intro:

G+G D MajorD G+G

♫ Verse 1:

I have nightmares each week

'bout that Friday in May

One phone call from you

and my entire world was changed
E minorEm
Trust that you betrayed,

confusion that still lingers

Took everything I loved and
              D MajorD
crushed it in between your fingers
   G+G
And I doubt you ever think about

the damage that you did

But I hold onto every detail

like my life depends on it
E minorEm
My undying love, now I hold it

like a grudge

Now I hear your voice every time
           D MajorD
that I think I'm not enough

♫ Chorus:
   C majorC
And I try to be tough,

but I wanna scream

How could anybody do the things

you did so easily?
   G+G
And I say I don't care,

I say that I'm fine

But you know I can't let it go,

I've tried, I've tried,
        Am7Am7
I've tried for so long
     E minorEm
It takes strength to forgive,
   D MajorD      C majorC
but I don't feel strong

♫ Verse 2:
  G+G
The arguments that I've won

against you in my head


In the shower, in the car,

and in the mirror before bed
       E minorEm
Yeah, I'm so tough when I'm alone,

and I make you feel so guilty

And I fantasize about a time
            D MajorD
you're a little f*ckin' sorry
   G+G
And I try to understand why

you would do this all to me

You must be insecure,

you must be so unhappy
   E minorEm
And I know, in my heart,

hurt people hurt people

And we both drew blood, but, man,
           E MajorE
those cuts were never equal

♫ Chorus:
   C majorC
And I try to be tough,

but I wanna scream

How could anybody do the things

you did so easily?
   G+G
And I say I don't care,

I say that I'm fine

But you know I can't let it go,

I've tried, I've tried,
        A minorAm   Am7Am7
I've tried for so long
     E minorEm      D MajorD
It takes strength to forgive,
   C majorC       G+G
but I don't feel strong


♫ Bridge:
E minorEm          A minorAm
Ooh, ooh-ooh, do you think
  C majorC
I deserved it all?
E minorEm         A minorAm
Ooh, ooh-ooh, your flower's filled
   C majorC
with vitriol
  D MajorD
You built me up to watch me fall

You have everything,

and you still want more


♫ Chorus:

 C majorC
I try to be tough,

I try to be mean

But even after all this,

you're still everything to me
        G+G
And I know you don't care,

I guess that that's fine

But you know I can't let it go,

I've tried, I've tried,
        A minorAm
I've tried for so long
            D MajorD
It takes strength to forgive, but
    C majorC       D MajorD
I'm not quite sure I'm there yet
      E minorEm      D MajorD     C majorC  G+G
It takes strength to forgive, but
