Intro: Bb 

Verse 1:
       Bb                              Bb 
I have nightmares each week 'bout that Friday in May
    Bb                           Bb 
One phone call from you and my entire world was changed
Gm
Trust that you betrayed, confusion that still lingers
     Gm
Took everything I loved and crushed it in between your fingers
      Bb                             Bb 
And I doubt you ever think about the damage that you did
      Bb                             Bb 
But I hold onto every detail like my life depends on it
Gm
My undying love, now I hold it like a grudge
      Gm
Now I hear your voice every time that I think I'm not enough

Chorus:
      Eb
And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream

How could anybody do the things you did so easily?
      Bb
And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine
                                                                       Cm
But you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long
         Gm                         F         Eb
It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong

Verse 2:
    Bb                       Bb 
The arguments that I've won against you in my head
       Bb                             Bb 
In the shower, in the car, and in the mirror before bed
             Gm
Yeah, I'm so tough when I'm alone, and I make you feel so guilty
      Gm
And I fantasize about a time you're a little xxxxin' sorry
      Bb                              Bb 
And I try to understand why you would do this all to me
    Bb                            Bb 
You must be insecure, you must be so unhappy
      Gm
And I know, in my heart, hurt people, hurt people
       Gm
And we both drew blood, but, man, those cuts were never equal

Chorus:
      Eb
And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream

How could anybody do the things you did so easily?
      Bb
And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine
                                                                       Cm
But you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long
         Gm             F         Eb           Bb
It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong

Bridge:
Gm                   Cm        Eb
Ooh, ooh-ooh, do you think I deserved it all?
Gm                 Cm                   Eb
Ooh, ooh-ooh, your flower's filled with vitriol
    F
You built me up to watch me fall
    F
You have everything, and you still want more

Chorus:
  Eb
I try to be tough, I try to be mean
    Eb
But even after all this, you're still everything to me
      Bb
And I know you don't care, I guess that that's fine
    Bb                                                                 Cm
But you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long
         Gm             F                 Eb             F
It takes strength to forgive, but I'm not quite sure I'm there yet
         Gm             F          Eb Bb
It takes strength to forgive, but
