Am
F
C
There
G
Am
is no reason,
F
C
G
oh, to treat yourself that way
Am
F
Try to give yourself a reason,
C
G
but there is no reason
F
Am
F
Do you remember, oh,
C
the promises we made?
G
Am
Try to keep the space a holy place
F
G
But now it's so hard to think
Am
F
C
Of how far away we've come
G
Am
Broken promises
E
F
Lip sealed silences
C
Am
Passive responses
E
F
C
Have had quite the opposite effect
Am
E
F
C
G
And I know all
Am
F
the so -called good guys
C
G
took it to the same place
Am
F
Just at a slower pace
C
G
Am
But you still felt the same shame
F
C
So you hit the bars and
G
started giving away
Am
F
C
Pieces of your heart
G
And if all the paths
Am
F
seem to lead to the same place
C
G
Shame's lighter with a known name
Am
F
Might as well skip the in -between
C
Am
F
C
G
F
C
So you gave it away
G
C
Ask yourself the question
Am
F
E
C
Oh, when did the checklist
G
change
F
Yeah, when did the qualities
C
G
Reduce to only skin deep
F
And since when
C
G
Oh, could you give so much away
Am
F
Without him even knowin',
C
G
even knowin' your last name
Am
F
And I will not be your judge,
G
C
G
no, I will not be your judge
Am
F
No, I'm just sayin'
C
G
Is this the best way?
Am
E
And I know you can get away
F
C
With being crazy
Am
Today
E
F
C
But what about when you're forty?
Am
E
You can blame it all on a craze,
F
on a college age phase
C
Am
But graduation day
E
F
isn't very far away
C
Am
E
You know this isn't a game,
F
you gotta grow up someday
C
G
Am
And I know all the
F
C
so -called good guys
G
Am
took you to the same place
F
just at a slower pace
C
G
Am
but you still felt the same shame
F
C
so you hit the bars and started
G
giving away
Am
F
pieces of your heart
C

seemed to lead you to the same

Am
F
C
G
Am
And this is my confession
F
C
as the so -called good guy
G
Am
Yeah, I apologize for
F
treating you that way
C
G
Am
Cause if you were my daughter,
F
C
you'd be breaking my heart

When I think about it that way

Oh, I can't explain why

as the so -called good guy

Just if you were my daughter,

On my part
