♫ 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
