Verse 1
[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
Chorus
[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
Verse 2
[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
Chorus
[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
Bridge
[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
Chorus
[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
