Verse 1
Bb Bb 
 
I have nightmares each week
Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 
 
about that Friday    in May
Bb Bb 
 
One phone call from you
Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 
 
and my entire      world was changed
Gm7 Gm7 
 
Trust that you betrayed,
Dm/G Dm/G 
 
confusion that still lingers
Gm7 Gm7 
 
Took everything I loved and crushed it
Dm/G Dm/G 
 
in     between your fingers
Bb Bb 
 
And I doubt you ever think about
Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 
 
the damage    that you did
Bb Bb 
 
But I hold onto every detail
Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 
 
like my life      depends on it
Gm7 Gm7 
 
Dm/G Dm/G 
 
My    undying love, now I hold   it like a grudge
Gm7 Gm7 
 
And I hear  your voice every time
Dm/G Dm/G 
 
that I think  I'm not enough

Chorus 1
Ebmaj7 Ebmaj7 
 
And I try       to be tough, but I wanna scream
How could anybody do the things
Eb6 Eb6 
 
you did   so easily?
Bb Bb 
 
Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 
 
And I say I don't care, I say       that I'm fine
Bb Bb 
 
But you know I can't let it go
Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 
 
Cm9 Cm9 
 
I've tried,    I've tried, I've tried for so    long
Gm Gm 
 
It takes strength to forgive,
F F 
 
Eb Eb 
 
but I don't feel strong

Verse 2
Bb Bb 
 
The arguments that I have won
Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 
 
against    you in my head
Bb Bb 
 
In the shower, in the car
Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 
 
and in the mirror    before bed
Gm7 Gm7 
 
Yeah, I'm so tough when I'm alone
Dm/G Dm/G 
 
and I make   you feel so guilty
Gm7 Gm7 
 
And I fantasize about a time
Dm/G Dm/G 
 
you're a little fuckin' sorry
Bb Bb 
 
And I try to understand why you would
Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 
 
do        this all to me
Bb Bb 
 
You must be insecure,
Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 
 
you must be so        unhappy
Gm7 Gm7 
 
And I know  in my heart
Dm/G Dm/G 
 
hurt people hurt people
Gm7 Gm7 
 
And we both  drew blood,
Dm/G Dm/G 
 
but, man, those cuts   were never equal

Chorus 2
Ebmaj7 Ebmaj7 
 
And I try       to be tough, but I wanna scream
How could anybody do the things
Eb6 Eb6 
 
you did   so easily?
Bb Bb 
 
Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 
 
And I say I don't care, I say       that I'm fine
Bb Bb 
 
But you know I can't let it go
Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 
 
Cm9 Cm9 
 
I've tried,    I've tried, I've tried for so    long
Gm Gm 
 
Gm/F Gm/F 
 
It takes strength to forgive,
Eb Eb 
 
Bb Bb 
 
but I don't feel strong

But even after all this,

you're still everything to me
Bb Bb 
 
And I know you don't care,

I guess     that that's fine

But you know I can't let it go
