Dm F C Am

[Verse 1]
Dm               F
One chance, two chances,
 and three
      C          Am
Think I got too much
sympathy, yeah
Dm         F
I hold my grudges
         C       Am
 like I held you
Dm            F
How does me tryin'
 to fix it
 C         Am
Turn into "I'll
 just forgive it"?
Dm               F
One chance, two chances
           C       Am
were lost on you

[Pre-Chorus]
        Dm
You can only dig the
    F
grave so deep
   C                Am
Before you start to take me
            Dm         F
 down with you, with you,
         C
 with you

[Chorus]
                        F
I could never make you want
           Gm
me like I wanted to
     Dm      Bb

                       F
I could never really change
             Gm
you like I thought
   Am     Dm      C
that I could
                     F
I was tryna make us something
         Gm
out of nothing,
            Dm         Bb
we were nothing at all
                      F
You can only dig the grave
      Gm           C
 so deep, you can only
         Dm         C
try to save something
                    Dm F C
That's not already gone

[Verse 2]
                Dm
So you’ve been goin’

 out with all your boys,
      F
 I’m crazy if I called
you, right?
 C
Tables turned, now I’m out,
      Am
 and you just called
like thirty times
Dm                 F
  Always a funny thing,
 watchin’ the tough guy
    C           Am
 plead, oh, baby
