Intro:  G  G/F# 
        G  G/F# 


       G                               G/F# 
I have nightmares each week 'bout that Friday in May 
    G                            G/F# 
One phone call from you and my entire world was changed 
Em 
Trust that you betrayed, confusion that still lingers 
     Em 
Took everything I loved and crushed it in between your fingers 
      G                              G/F# 
And I doubt you ever think about the damage that you did 
      G                              G/F# 
But I hold onto every detail like my life depends on it 
Em 
My undying love, now I hold it like a grudge 
      Em 
Now I hear your voice every time that I think I'm not enough 


      C 
And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream 

How could anybody do the things you did so easily? 
      G 
And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine 
                                                                       Am 
But you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long 
         Em                         D         C 
It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong 


    G                        G/F# 
The arguments that I've won against you in my head 
       G                              G/F# 
In the shower, in the car, and in the mirror before bed 
             Em 
Yeah, I'm so tough when I'm alone, and I make you feel so guilty 
      Em 
And I fantasize about a time you're a little fuckin' sorry 
      G                               G/F# 
And I try to understand why you would do this all to me 
    G                             G/F# 
You must be insecure, you must be so unhappy 
      Em 
And I know, in my heart, hurt people, hurt people 
       Em 
And we both drew blood,  

But, man, those cuts were never equal 


      C 
And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream 

How could anybody do the things you did so easily? 
      G 
And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine 
                                                                       Am 
But you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long 
         Em             D         C            G 
It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong 


Em                   Am        C 
Ooh, ooh-ooh, do you think I deserved it all? 
Em                 Am                   C 
Ooh, ooh-ooh, your flower's filled with vitriol 
    D 
You built me up to watch me fall 
    D 
You have everything, and you still want more 


  C 
I try to be tough, I try to be mean 
    C 
But even after all this, you're still everything to me 
      G 
And I know you don't care, I guess that that's fine 
    G                                                                  Am 
But you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long 
         Em             D                 C              D 
It takes strength to forgive, but I'm not quite sure I'm there yet 
         Em             D          C  G 
It takes strength to forgive, but
