Intro: G Gm7 G Gm7

Verse:
         G                              Gm7
I have nightmares each week about that Friday in May
      G                          Gm7
One phone call from you and my entire world was changed
 Em
Trust that you betrayed, confusion that still lingers
                                                            D
You took everything I loved and crushed it in between your fingers

        G                             Gm7
And I doubt you ever think about the damage that you did
       G                               Gm7
But I hold on to every detail like my life depends on it
Em
My undying love, now I hold it like a grudge
                                                        D
And I hear your voice every time that I think Iʼm not enough

Chorus:
      Cm7
And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream

How could anybody Do the things you did so easily?
       G                  Gm7
And I say I donʼt care, I say that Iʼm fine
     G                                Gm7                              Am7
But you know I canʼt let it go, Iʼve tried, Iʼve tried, Iʼve tried for so long
            Em                       D            C
It takes strength to forgive, but I donʼt feel strong

Verse:
     G                          Gm7
The arguments that I have won against you in my head
         G                            Gm7
In the shower, in the car and in the mirror before bed
              Em
Yeah, Iʼm so tough when Iʼm alone and I make you feel so guilty

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

       G                              Gm7
And I try to understand why you would Do this all to me
     G                            Gm7
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, those cuts were never equal

Chorus:
      Cm7
And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream

How could anybody Do the things you did so easily?
       G                  Gm7
And I say I donʼt care, I say that Iʼm fine
     G                                Gm7                              Am7
But you know I canʼt let it go, Iʼve tried, Iʼve tried, Iʼve tried for so long
            Em           D            C           G
It takes strength to forgive, but I donʼt feel strong

Bridge:
Em           Am7      Cm7
Ooh, Do you think I deserved it all?
Em         Am7                  Cm7
Ooh, your flowerʼs filled with vitriol
      D
You built me up to watch me fall

You have everything and you still want more

Chorus:
  Cm7
I try to be tough, I try to be mean

But even after all this, youʼre still everything to me
       G                      Gm7
And I know you donʼt care, I guess that thatʼs fine
     G                                 Gm7                             Am7
But you know I canʼt let it go, Iʼve tried, Iʼve tried, Iʼve tried for so long
           Em            D                  C              D
It takes strength to forgive, but Iʼm not quite sure Iʼm there yet
           Em            D        C   G
It takes strength to forgive, but...
