I made you laugh, I made you cry,

I made you open up your eyes
   AsusAsus
Didn't I?

D MajorD             Dsus2Dsus2
I helped you open up your wings,
             G+G
Your legs and many other things
   AsusAsus

A minorAm I the greatest bastard that you know,
             G+G
The only one who lets you go,
             AsusAsus
The one you hurt so much you can not bear?

D MajorD            Dsus2Dsus2
We were good when we were good,
             G+G   AsusAsus
When we were not misunderstood.

D MajorD                Dsus2Dsus2
You helped me love, you helped me live
               G+G
You helped me learn how to forgive,
   AsusAsus
Didn't you?

D MajorD             Dsus2Dsus2
Wish that I could say the same,
               G+G
But when you left, you left the blame.
   AsusAsus
Didn't you?

E minorEm                Dsus2Dsus2

                G+G   AsusAsus
Some dreams are better when they end

D MajorD              Dsus2Dsus2
Just woke in bed, you were in my head
              G+G
I was underground and in a dream
             AsusAsus
Pass this place I'm not suppose to be,

D MajorD             Dsus2Dsus2
And you were there waiting for me
                   G+G
And, with a smile, you said It's been awhile
            AsusAsus
You asked have I had I seen her recently.

E minorEm                Dsus2Dsus2
A minorAm I the greatest bastard that you know?
               G+G
When will we learn to let this go?
              AsusAsus
We fought so much we've broken all the chance!

D MajorD          Dsus2Dsus2
Letting go is not the same
             G+G  AsusAsus
As pushing someone else away.

Cause I know you do,
