Intro: G Bm Em Em D Gb

Verse 1:
            G
When you'd yell I would stay silent
           Bm
You never noticed I was quiet
       Em                                       D
I was taught that speaking up was talking back
        G
Always first to say, "I'm sorry"
          Bm
'Cause I wanted you to like me
        Em                                         D
And I thought that's what it took to make it last

Pre-chorus:
        C
It's a lose-lose
        D
That I don't choose
     C                                    Cm
But you don't always choose the ones you love

Chorus:
Em            C       G
 I shouldn't have to be the bigger person
Em           C                G
 How come I have to break to keep us working?
     Em            C        G                  B7
It's always up to me even though it shouldn't be
      C                                  Cm
I'll take the blame the way you want me to
                                  G     Bm    Em     D
'Cause that's what I'd do for you

Verse 2:
       G
I was half of this dynamic
        Bm
I was stable, you were manic
    Em                                      D
Without you or with you, comes with a cost
      G
I got used to the excuses
      Bm
And emotional abuses
    Em                                     D
We kept moving the lines we'd never cross

Pre-chorus:
        C
It's a lose-lose
        D
That I don't choose
     C                                    Cm
But you don't always choose the ones you love

Chorus:
Em            C       G
 I shouldn't have to be the bigger person
Em           C                G
 How come I have to break to keep us working?
     Em            C        G                  B7
It's always up to me even though it shouldn't be
      C                                  Cm
I'll take the blame the way you want me to
                                  Am
'Cause that's what I'd do for you

Post-chorus:
                    D                        G
I always think it's over but it never really is
                         Em      E                Am
'Cause I can't get the closure when you're like this
         D
Can we switch

Bridge:
Em           C           G
 Maybe this time you'll be the bigger person
Em                   C               G
 'Cause I'm getting tired of bearing all your burden
     Em             C            G                B7
It should be up to you, but you won't admit the truth, ooh-ooh

Chorus:
Em            C       G
 I shouldn't have to be the bigger person
Em           C                G
 How come I have to break to keep us working?
     Em            C        G                  B7
It's always up to me even though it shouldn't be
      C                                  Cm
I'll take the blame the way you want me to
                               (nc)
'Cause that's what I'd do for you
