(B5)You (F#m)nev er seemed so tense, ing love; to your self, I’ve nev er seen you fall so (F#m)hard, But and do you know where you are?

And (C#m)truth be told, I miss you.

If you find a man that’s worth a damn and treats you (D)well,

To hell.

Now (F#m)you’ll nev er see what (D)you’ve done to me.

You can (A)take back your mem o ries; they’re (A)no good to (E5)me.

And (F#m)here’s all your lies, you can (F#dim)look me in the eyes with that (Bm7)sad, sad look that you (E)wear so well.

When you see my (CN.C.)face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell.

If you find a man that’s worth a damn and treats you well,

then he’s a fool, you’re just as well, hope it gives you hell.

When you see my (A)face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell.

When you walk my (F#m)way, hope it gives you (E)hell, hope it gives you hell.
