Tone: [Bb]
Intro:
[Bb]
Verse 1:
I have [Bb]nightmares each week 'bout that [Bb]Friday in May
One [Bb]phone call from you and my en[Bb]entire world was changed
[Gm]Trust that you betrayed, confusion that still lingers
Took [Gm]everything I loved and crushed it in between your fingers
And I [Bb]doubt you ever think about the [Bb]damage that you did
But I [Bb]hold onto every detail like my [Bb]life depends on it
[Gm]My undying love, now I hold it like a grudge
Now I [Gm]hear your voice every time that I think I'm not enough
Chorus:
And I [Eb]try to be tough, but I wanna scream
How could anybody do the things you did so easily?
And I [Bb]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, I've tried for [Cm]so long
It takes [Gm]strength to forgive, but I [F]don't feel[Eb]feel strong
Verse 2:
The [Bb]arguments that I've won a[Bb]against you in my head
In the [Bb]shower, in the car, and in the [Bb]mirror before bed
Yeah, I'm so [Gm]tough when I'm alone, and I make you feel so guilty
And I [Gm]fantasize about a time you're a little xxxxin' sorry
And I [Bb]try to understand why you would [Bb]do this all to me
You [Bb]must be insecure, you must be [Bb]so unhappy
And I [Gm]know, in my heart, hurt people, hurt people
And we [Gm]both drew blood, but, man, those cuts were never equal
Chorus:
And I [Eb]try to be tough, but I wanna scream
How could anybody do the things you did so easily?
And I [Bb]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, I've tried for [Cm]so long
It takes [Gm]strength to for[F]forgive, but [Eb]I don't feel [Bb]strong
Bridge:
[Gm]Ooh, ooh-ooh, do you [Cm]think I de[Eb]deserved it all?
[Gm]Ooh, ooh-ooh, your [Cm]flower's filled with [Eb]vitriol
You [F]built me up to watch me fall
You [F]have everything, and you still want more
Chorus:
I [Eb]try to be tough, I try to be mean
But [Eb]even after all this, you're still everything to me
And I [Bb]know you don't care, I guess that that's fine
But [Bb]you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for [Cm]so long
It takes [Gm]strength to for[F]forgive, but I'm not [Eb]quite sure I'm [F]there yet
It takes [Gm]strength to for[F]forgive, but [Eb] [Bb]
