I made you laugh, I made you cry
G
I made you open up your eyes
A
Didn't I?
DDsus2
I helped you open out your wings,
G
your legs, and many other things
A
Didn't I?
EmGbmAm I the greatest bastard that you know?
G
The only one who let you go?
A
The one you hurt so much you cannot bear?
DDsus2
Well we were good, when we were good
GA
When we were not misunderstood
DDsus2
You helped me love, you helped me live
G
You helped me learn how to forgive
A
Didn't you?
DDsus2
I wish that I could say the same
G
But when you left, you left the blame
A
Didn't you?
EmGbmAm I the greatest bastard that you met?
G
The only one you can't forget?
AAm I the one your truth's been waiting for?
DDsus2
Or am I just dreaming once again?
GA
Some dreams are better when they end
DDsus2
Some make it, mistake it
GA
Some force and some will fake it
Hm GbmGA
I never meant to let you down
DDsus2
Some fret it, forget it
GA
Some ruin and some regret it
Hm GbmGA
I never meant to let you down
DDsus2
We learn to wag and tuck our tails
G
We learn to win and then to fail
A
Didn't we?
DDsus2
We learn that lovers love to sing
G
And that losers love to cling
A
Didn't we?
EmGbmAm I the greatest bastard that you know?
G
When will we learn to let this go?
A
We fought so much, we've broken all the charm
DDsus2
But letting go is not the same
GA
As pushing someone else away
Hm Gbm
So please don't let on
GA
You don't know me
Hm Gbm
Please don't let on
GA
I'm not here
Hm Gbm
Please don't let on
GA
You don't love me
Hm Gbm
'Cause I know you do
GA
I know
DDsus2
That some make it, mistake it
GA
Some force and some will fake it
Hm GbmGA
I never meant to let you down
DDsus2
Some fret it, forget it
GA
Some ruin and some regret it
Hm GbmG
I never meant to let you down
A
I never meant to let you
EmGbmG
I never meant to let you down
A
I never meant

Damien Rice (born December 7, 1973) is an Irish singer-songwriter. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, to George and Maureen Rice and was raised in Celbridge, County Kildare, Ireland. In March 1999 Damien moved to Tuscany, then travelled around Europe, busking the streets. He arrived back in Dublin a year later, with a clear head and full of ideas. Damien started playing and recording music with his first band, Juniper. After a few years he decided creatively it was not for him so he left the band (Newly named Bell X1) to start a solo career.
