Intro: A Am7 A Am7

Verse:
         A                              Am7
I have nightmares each week about that Friday in May
      A                          Am7
One phone call from you and my entire world was changed
 F#m
Trust that you betrayed, confusion that still lingers
                                                            E
You took everything I loved and crushed it in between your fingers

        A                             Am7
And I doubt you ever think about the damage that you did
       A                               Am7
But I hold on to every detail like my life depends on it
F#m
My undying love, now I hold it like a grudge
                                                        E
And I hear your voice every time that I think Iʼm not enough

Chorus:
      Dm7
And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream

How could anybody Do the things you did so easily?
       A                  Am7
And I say I donʼt care, I say that Iʼm fine
     A                                Am7                              Bm7
But you know I canʼt let it go, Iʼve tried, Iʼve tried, Iʼve tried for so long
            F#m                       E            D
It takes strength to forgive, but I donʼt feel strong

Verse:
     A                          Am7
The arguments that I have won against you in my head
         A                            Am7
In the shower, in the car and in the mirror before bed
              F#m
Yeah, Iʼm so tough when Iʼm alone and I make you feel so guilty

And I fantasize about a time youʼre a little ******* sorry

       A                              Am7
And I try to understand why you would Do this all to me
     A                            Am7
You must be insecure, you must be so unhappy
       F#m
And I know, in my heart, hurt people hurt people

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

Chorus:
      Dm7
And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream

How could anybody Do the things you did so easily?
       A                  Am7
And I say I donʼt care, I say that Iʼm fine
     A                                Am7                              Bm7
But you know I canʼt let it go, Iʼve tried, Iʼve tried, Iʼve tried for so long
            F#m           E            D           A
It takes strength to forgive, but I donʼt feel strong

Bridge:
F#m           Bm7      Dm7
Ooh, Do you think I deserved it all?
F#m         Bm7                  Dm7
Ooh, your flowerʼs filled with vitriol
      E
You built me up to watch me fall

You have everything and you still want more

Chorus:
  Dm7
I try to be tough, I try to be mean

But even after all this, youʼre still everything to me
       A                      Am7
And I know you donʼt care, I guess that thatʼs fine
     A                                 Am7                             Bm7
But you know I canʼt let it go, Iʼve tried, Iʼve tried, Iʼve tried for so long
           F#m            E                  D              E
It takes strength to forgive, but Iʼm not quite sure Iʼm there yet
           F#m            E        D   A
It takes strength to forgive, but...
