Misunderstood

[Intro ]
G   Em   C   D 

 
G 
a gentleman was heaven-sent, 
                 Em 
I wanted it all of the time 
   C 
You said I took up all the real estate 
          D 
inside your mind 

   G 
I reached for the future you made 
                      Em 
just for me like a prize 
       C 
But I must've heard you wrong when you 
                         D 
said that this was for life 
 

 
   G                     
You said I was your baby 
             Em     D          C 
That you've never loved this hard 
    G                        
Now you just look right through me 
       Em     D          C 
Like an arrow through my heart 

      D 
And I watch you give her what you wouldn't give me 
       G          D/F#     Em 
And I thought you never could 
       C                         G 
Well, I guess I, guess I misunderstood 
 

 
                   G 
When you said I was special, 
                              Em 
I guess it just meant you were bored 
                       C 
When you said I gave you everything, 
                           D 
guess it meant you wanted more 

       G 
And maybe I, and maybe 
                               Em 
I should've known better before 
                         C 
But you did a good job at making 
                    D 
me think I was yours 
 

 
   G                     
You said I was your baby 
             Em     D          C 
That you've never loved this hard 
    G                        
Now you just look right through me 
       Em     D          C 
Like an arrow through my heart 

      D 
And I watch you give her what you wouldn't give me 
       G          D/F#     Em 
And I thought you never could 
       C                         G 
Well, I guess I, guess I misunderstood 
 

 
                  G                               
When I met your mom and dad and they said I was great 
                  Em                          C 
When you lived in New York, so you flew to L A 
                      G 
When you moved down the street 
                   
so that we could be close 
                    Em 
What a heartbreaking scene 
                 C 
What a terrible joke 

                  G                               
When you gave me a drawer in your stupid frat room 
                    Em                            C 
So I gave you the world, and your friends knew it too 
                         G 
And I don't love you no more, 
                       
we both know that's not true 
                     Em                       C 
But at least I loved better, better than you 
 

 
   G                     
You said I was your baby 
            Em           C 
Said what I wanted to hear 
   G                        
I hope you treat her better 
             Em      D       C 
So she don't feel what I feel 

       D 
Yeah, I'll watch you give her 
what you wouldn't give me 
             Em               C 
And I thought you never could 
          C        D              G 
Well, I guess I, guess I misunderstood
