[Intro]
Bb  F  C  F

[Verse 1]
  Bb                    F
I told you I was down bad
    C                      Am
You hate to see me like that
  Bb                         F
I don’t know how you look past
   C                    Am
My stupid fucking setbacks

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb          F             C
   When you opened up the door
Am
You let me in when you
                       Bb
should have your guard up
       F                C
What a painful back and forth, oh

[Chorus]
               Bb
It's hard to ignore all
      F
of my problems
        C              Am
Gonna regret being too honest
           Bb
Calling it love,
               F
but this isn’t falling
          C
I'm gonna drag you right
            Am
down to the bottom
                Bb
Cause you're no good
             F
You could do better
                C
You should walk out
            Am
It's now or never
           Bb
I took the most that
          F
you could offer
          C
I'm gonna drag you right
            Am
down to the bottom

[Verse 2]
Bb                    F
Told you I was down bad
C                      Am
You could never fix that
          Bb               F
Cause I'm happier when I'm sad
   C                        Am
So leave and never come back

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb          F             C
   When you opened up the door
Am
You let me in when you
                       Bb
should have your guard up
       F                C
What a painful back and forth,
