Strumming: Suggested ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) ♫ Intro: G D G ♫ Verse 1: I have nightmares each week 'bout that Friday in May One phone call from you and my entire world was changed Em Trust that you betrayed,
confusion that still lingers Took everything I loved and D crushed it in between your fingers 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 Em My undying love, now I hold it like a grudge Now I hear your voice every time D that I think I'm not enough ♫ Chorus: C And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream How could anybody do the things you did so easily? 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, Am7 I've tried for so long Em It takes strength to forgive, D C but I don't feel strong ♫ Verse 2: G The arguments that I've won against you in my head In the shower, in the car, and in the mirror before bed Em Yeah, I'm so tough when I'm alone, and I make you feel so guilty And I fantasize about a time D you're a little f*ckin' sorry G And I try to understand why you would do this all to me You must be insecure, you must be so unhappy Em And I know, in my heart, hurt people hurt people And we both drew blood, but, man, E those cuts were never equal ♫ Chorus: C And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream How could anybody do the things you did so easily? 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, Am Am7 I've tried for so long Em D It takes strength to forgive, C G but I don't feel strong ♫ Bridge: Em Am Ooh, ooh-ooh, do you think C I deserved it all? Em Am Ooh, ooh-ooh, your flower's filled C with vitriol D You built me up to watch me fall You have everything, and you still want more ♫ Chorus: C I try to be tough, I try to be mean But even after all this, you're still everything to me 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, Am I've tried for so long D It takes strength to forgive, but C D I'm not quite sure I'm there yet Em D C G It takes strength to forgive, but Chords used in The Grudge by Olivia Rodrigo: G, Am, C, D, Em,
