And I’m put ting you through more than one ev er should.

And I’m hat ing my self ’cause you don’t want to

I know that it (Dmaj7)breaks your heart when I cry (E)a gain

o ver him.

I know that it (Dmaj7)breaks your heart when I cry (E)a gain, in stead of ghost ing him.

And I’m put ting you through more than one ev er should.
