Tuning: E A D G B E

Intro:

A F#m C#m7 D
 
Verse 1:
        A
I don't think you ever loved me and I have to believe that now
            F#m
'Cause otherwise, I'll look for love like yours in every place around
        C#m7
The love that flows like blood does, that I'll search for through the years
         D
You speak through gritted teeth, sayin', "My darlin', I'm right here"
    A
And it is not my fault, it's something I was learnin'
  F#m
I only feel at home, now, in a home when it is burning
      C#m7
After gathering this knowledge, I have to face the truth
        D
That you never loved mе, but I tried so hard to love you

Chorus:
      A                             F#m
And I want you to try so that I can thank you for tryin'
          C#m7                            D
And then maybе that will make you try some more
        A                                  F#m
In the whites of your eyes, I can see they know of your crimes, but
                 E                                                    D
Confession won't slip willingly past your lips until you're on death's door
               F#m                      E                      A
It's not in my nature to forgive bad behaviour except when it's yours
 
Verse 2:
                     A
And what makes me go crazy, I can never slam the door
                       F#m
If you walked in right now with a new lie, then I'd be yours
       C#m7
You've always got a foot in, you've always got a start
         D
And the fact you never take that chance, it fucking breaks my heart
       A
And now I'm unforgiving, my mother doesn't understand
         F#m
I wasn't born an angry child, but I became an angry man
 
Chorus:
      A                             F#m
And I want you to try so that I can thank you for tryin'
          C#m7                            D
And then maybе that will make you try some more
  A                       F#m
I can’t stem the flow and God only knows
                    C#m7            E                D
Where you hide your stash of broken glass as the red pours
               F#m                    E        A
It's not in my nature, it's not in my nature
 
A F#m C#m7 D
 
Bridge:
A
  Forgiveness was never my strong suit
D
  But neither was givin' up on you
E                                D
  Forgiveness was never my strong suit
 
Chorus:
      A                             F#m
And I want you to try so that I can thank you for tryin'
         E                                 D
And then maybе that will make you try some more
  F#m                     D
I can’t stem the flow and God only knows
                    C#m7            E               D
Where you hide your stash of broken glass as the red pours
 
Outro:
A                                 F#m
  I want you to try so that I can thank you for tryin'
         Esus4                            D
And then maybе that will make you try some more
                 F#m               C#m7
I can’t stem the flow and God only knows
               A                     E                     F#m
It's not in my nature to forgive bad behaviour, especially yours
