You say it’s (Eb)not sup posed to (Bb)be,

And I’m (Eb)try ing to ig (Bb)nore you,

try to (Eb)go on with my (Bb)day, hey.

But I (Eb)still pick up the (Bb)phone, yeah,

and get (F)lost in what you (Gm)say.

I can try to stop it all I like, hands (F6)down, I’ve (Eb)lost this fight.

Thought I was strong e nough for you, but (F6)I just can’t (Eb)hide the truth.

So I (Cm)guess I’m (Bb)go ing (Eb)down, I (Cm)guess I’m (Bb)go ing (Eb)down

And I (Eb)love just how she’s (Bb)hon est,

you don’t (Eb)find that now a (Bb)days.

She’s not (Eb)e ven drop dead (Bb)gor geous

but she (F)kills me an y (Gm)way.

I can try to stop it all I like, hands (F6)down, I’ve (Eb)lost this fight.

Thought I was strong e nough for you, but (F6)I just can’t (Eb)hide the truth.

So I (Cm)guess I’m (Bb)go ing (Eb)down, I (Cm)guess I’m (Bb)go ing (Eb)down

Thought I was strong e (D)nough for you, but (F6)I just can’t (Eb)hide the truth.

I can try to stop it all I like, hands (F6)down I’ve (Eb)lost this fight.

And I thought I was (CN.C.)strong e nough for (CN.C.)you, but (F6)I just can’t (Eb)hide the truth.

So I (Cm)guess I’m (Bb)go ing (Eb)down
