Tough Love

Gracie Abrams C Vote rhythm

New versions

Capo: no capo
[Am]I took a train to Boston and I [G]wanted to cry
He's [C]gone, I'm twenty-four and it's a [F]Saturday night
I [Am]ran and took his jacket with the [G]rip in the side
I [F]hate when we fight, sucks when we fight
But, [Am]honestly, whatever, he's just [G]one of the boys
I'll [C]date for like a summer and I'll [F]leave when I'm bored
This [Am]train is full of strangers but I [G]might like him more
Said I [F]might like him more, yeah, no, I like him more
 
 
{Pre Chorus}
And that's [C]just tough [G]love
But I [F]mean it, really mean it
I'm [C]not [G]charmed so I'm [F]leavin'
 
 
{Chorus}
I [C]laughed the second he tried to [G]call my bluff
I [Am]guess it's always funny [F]until it's not
When I [C]left him there to [G]feel it
Couldn't [Am]guess when I'd be [F]leavin' for
No [C]chance I waste my twenties on [G]random men
Not [Am]one of them is cooler than [F]all my friends
And I [C]hate to leave him [G]bleedin'
But I know, [Am]now what I'm [F]leavin' for
 
 
We're [Am]walkin' by the river and I [G]stop by the boats
At [C]night it's kind of tempting just to [F]see if you float
The [Am]benches by the Charles gave me [G]somewhere to go
I [F]feel like I'm home, there's a bar down the road
I'm [Am]wasted with the sister of a [G]boy that I met
Through [C]someone back in college, she's a [F]weird intellect
She [Am]liked to tell the truth and she was [G]harsh but direct
Her [F]boyfriends all left, she had that effect
 
 
{Pre Chorus}
But that's [C]just tough [G]love
And you're [F]lucky to receive it, right?
[C]He'll [G]crumble to [F]pieces
 
 
{Chorus}
I [C]laughed the second he tried to [G]call my bluff
I [Am]guess it's always funny [F]until it's not
When I [C]left him there in [G]pieces
Couldn't [Am]guess when I'd be [F]leavin' for
No [C]chance I waste my twenties on [G]random men
Not [Am]one of them is smarter than [F]all my friends
And I [C]hate to leave him [G]bleedin'
 
 
But I [Am]know, now what I'm [F]leavin' for
[C] [G]Ooh
Oh, I [Am]know, now what I'm [F]leavin' for
[C] [G]Hmm
Oh, I [Am]know, now what I'm [F]leavin'
 
 
{Bridge}
[Am]No, I'm not gonna [G]miss the way he'd
[C]kick me in my [F]bed while sleepin'
[Am]And I'm not gonna [G]miss his shitty
[C]friends and nights of [F]their binge drinking
[Am]And I'm not gonna [G]miss his old
[C]inflated ego, [F]shallow thinking
[Am]And I'm not gonna [G]miss denying [C]that I got my [G]own damn reasons
 
 
{Outro}
I [C]laughed the second he tried to [G]call my bluff
I [Am]guess it's always funny [F]until it's not
When I [C]left him there to [G]feel it
Couldn't [Am]guess when I'd be [F]leavin' for
No [C]chance I waste my twenties on [G]random men
Not [Am]one of them is tougher than [F]all my friends
And I [C]hate to leave him [G]bleedin'
But I [Am]know, now what I'm [F]leavin' for
