[Verse 1]
C*              E*
  I almost liked the
                F*
  way you fooled me
                     C*
To make me feel like this
would last forever
C*                  G*
  But twice a night,
             F*
  I'd wake up sweating
                     C*
To sleep without you here
                 Am*
would do me better

[Chorus]
 G*    F*
I, I, I, I
Called you out and
G*                   Am
labeled you a "problem"
 G*    F*
I, I, I, I
                   C*
I should know that it
                   Am
takes one to know one

[Verse 2]
            G*           F*
You represent the codependence
                G*
I was down, you wore
              Am*
the shinin' armor
              E*
The side-effect is
         F*
cold resentment
                G*
Tricked mе into thinking
              Am*
you were stronger

[Chorus]
 G*    F*
I, I, I, I
                   G*
Callеd you out and knew
                Am
you were my problem
 G*    F*
I, I, I, I
                   G*
I should know that it
takes one to know one

[Outro]
C*              E*
Hold me slowly, you
don't even know me
F*
Home now, lights out
G*
Pictures just destroy me
C*                     E*
Come through late, and tell
                   F*     G*
me that you want it bad
C*              E*
Hold me slowly, you
don't even know me
F*
Home now, lights out
C*
Pictures just destroy me
C*
Come through late,
    E*                      F*
and tell me that you want it bad
