[Intro ]
Cmaj7  Fm6  Cmaj9  Am Fmaj7 

 
Cmaj7                   Fm6           Cmaj9 
My best friend fell in love with a girl 
      Am       Fmaj7 
And I killed her 
    Cmaj7                     Fm6                      Cmaj9 
She lies by the tree in the graveyard where we built a swing 
          Am  Fmaj7 
In the summer 
    Cmaj9               Am     Fmaj9 
You looked at me like a stranger 
Cmaj9                   Am        Fm6 
  You looked at me like someone you don't know 
Cmaj9                     Am  Fmaj9 
  You looked at me like a lover 
Cmaj9                    Fmaj9                    Cmaj9 G Dm7 Fmaj9 
  You looked at me like someone you couldn't let go 
    Fmaj9         Cmaj9 G Dm7  Fmaj9 
You couldn't let go 
 

 
Cmaj9   G          Dm9            Fmaj9 
I never told him I liked him like that 
      Cmaj9               G              Dm9           Fmaj9 
Stuck straight through my heart and fell right out the back 
   Cmaj9         G           Dm9           Fmaj9 Cmaj9 
He had me in his palm, but I crumbled like sand 
    G               Dm9       Fmaj9      Cmaj9 
Did that make you feel like a big strong man? 
    G               Dm9       Fmaj9      Cmaj9 
Did that make you feel like a big strong man? 
    G               Dm9       Fmaj9      Cmaj9 
Did that make you feel like a big strong man? 
    G               Dm9       Fmaj9    ({Cmaj9}) 
Did that make you feel like a big strong man?

Cmaj9 G Dm9 Fmaj9 x2 
Cmaj9   Dm7(b5) 
Cmaj9   Fm6 
 
 
Dm9                       Fmaj9 
I couldn't move, but sometimes I still miss it 
Dm9                      Fmaj9 
You felt it too, but I held your resistance 
Dm9                     Fmaj9 
Lay in my room like I don't feel the distance 
Cmaj9                 Dm9            Fmaj9 
I always knew, but I thought that I didn't 
Dm11                         Fmaj9 
We're face to face on the floor of my kitchen 
Dm7                          F 
You won't shut up 'bout the girl you've been kissing 
Dm7                                    F 
But you're holding my hand like you don't know the difference 
 

 
C          G             Am        F 
I always knew, but you told me I didn't 
C            G             Am        F 
You always knew I'm not part of your plan 
C             G        Am     F 
You loved somebody who never existed 
C                 G            Am        G 
Did that make you feel like a big strong man? 
 

Interlude 
C  Am F x4 
Cmaj9 Dm7(b5) Cmaj9 Fm6 

 
Cmaj7   Gadd4      Dm7            Fmaj7 
I never told him I liked him like that 
      Cmaj7               Gadd4          Dm7           Fmaj7 
Stuck straight through my heart and fell right out the back 
   Cmaj7         Gadd4       Dm7           Fmaj7 Cmaj7 
He had me in his palm, but I crumbled like sand (I always knew, but you told me I didn't) 
    Gadd4           Dm7       Fmaj7 
Did that make you feel like a big strong man? (You always knew I'm not part of your plan) 
    Gadd4           Dm7       Fmaj7 
Did that make you feel like a big strong man? (You loved somebody who never existed) 
    Gadd4           Dm7       Fmaj7      N.C. 
Did that make you feel like a big strong man? (Did that make you feel like a big strong man?) 
                         C 
Did that make you feel like a big strong man?
