[Intro]
Am  G  C  Em  F
Am  G  C  Em  F

[Verse 1]
Am      G            C
Took me over to your house
             Em    F
to meet your family
Introduce me to them saying
that you'd marry me
Am         G              C
Then you'd look me in the eye
             Em        F
and say it's just a joke
Then you'd kiss me and
I'd smile did you even know?
Am         G
When you'd say that kinda
C            Em      F
thing I'd be excited
Got me hoping maybe one
day you would mean it
Am     G                C
Always thought I'd only make
           Em         F
a fool of someone else
Now you've only gone and made
me make one of myself
Am G C Em F

[Chorus]
Am          G
I guess the flowers aren't
     C             Em         F
just used for big apologies
I guess I should've been more
conscious how you spoke to me
Am               G
'Cause when we'd fight you give
   C             Em            F
me space and not communicate
And for awhile I thought that's
what I should appreciate
Am    G             C
Maybe I was holding onto
       Em               F
what I thought you were
But when you think too hard
eventually it starts to hurt
Am          G            C
The version of you in my head
            Em           F
now I know wasn't true
Young people fall for the wrong
people guess my one was you
Am G C Em F

[Verse 2]
Am    G           C
I was getting any flight so
         Em            F
we could make it work
You'd ignore me could have
told me you were seein' her
Am    G
Kinda hate myself for
 C          Em            F
justifying your mistakes
Too committed but I learned
that shit the hard way
Am      G              C
Who are you to tell me I
              Em       F
can't be heartbroken
Babe you had the chance
the door for you was open
Am      G                C
If it's what you need to tell
            Em             F
yourself to sleep at night
Pretend I haven't found a man
who finally treats me right

[Outro]
Am          G             C
If there's anything I've learned
                Em               F
it's you should watch yourself
N.C.
If it's hurting you then leave
and go and get some help
