[Verse 1]
         G
How do I word this?
             B
Was about to write you this letter
                       C
But it was just curses in cursive
               A
You probably deserve it
                G
But that's so impersonal,
should tell you in person
                B
I hope it don't hurt you, but then,
I've been hurt too by you
    C
The truth is, all you do is
         A
Leave me emotional bruises

[Pre-Chorus]
G
  You're callin' me up to link up
  and figure shit out
B
  No doubt, time's out,
  we never figure shit out
C
  I can't do this no more,
                   A
  you call me your life support

[Chorus]
                   G
'Cause this is the fifth time
I've taken you back
         Bm
It's the fourth time,
that we've relapsed
         C
It's the third-second chance
that I've given you
        A
For the first time,
               N.C.
let this be the last time
G
Fifth time I've taken you back
         B
It's the fourth time,
                         C
that I've collapsed into your arms

It's so hard, but for the best
        A
For the first time,
                    G
let this be the last

[Verse 2]
             G
This vicious cycle,
                B
it's driving me psycho
I'm anxious need someone
                 C
to come check my vitals
(Come check my vitals)
    A          N.C.
One minute I'm leaving,
the next I forgive you

[Pre-Chorus]
G
  You're callin' me up to link
  up and figure shit out
B
  No doubt, time's out,
  we never figure shit out
C                  N.C.
  I can't do this no more,
                  A    N.C.
  cutting off the life support

[Chorus]
                   G
'Cause this is the fifth time
I've taken you back
         B
It's the fourth time,
that we've relapsed
         C
It's the third-second chance
that I've given you
        A
For the first time,
let this be the last time
G
Fifth time I've taken you back
         B
It's the fourth time,
                         C
that I've collapsed into your arms

It's so hard, but for the best
        A
For the first time,
let this be the last

[Outro]
G
  Please, please
            B   C
Let this be last
         A
No, it's gotta be

It's truly the last
