Lyrics

Nev er made it as a (Fsus2)wise man; I could n’t cut it as a (Ebsus2)poor man steal ing; tired of liv ing like a (Fsus2)blind man; I’m sick of sight with out a (Ebsus2)sense of feel ing, (C5)and this is how you re mind me.

This is how you re mind me of what (Ebsus2)I real ly am.

This is how you re mind me of what (Ebsus2)I real ly am.

It’s not like you to say sor ry.

I was wait ing on a (F5)dif f’rent sto ry, and this time I’m mis tak en for hand ing you a (F5)heart worth break ing, (C5)and I’ve been wrong, I’ve been down, been to the bot tom of (F5)ev ’ry bot tle.

These five words in my head scream, “Are we hav ing fun yet?” Yet,

yet,

yet, no no.

Yet,

yet, no no.

It’s not like you did n’t (F7sus)know that.

I said I love you, and I (Ebsus2)swear I still do.

And it must have been (Fsus2)so bad, ’cause liv ing with him must have (Ebsus2)damn near killed you, (C5)and this is how you re mind me of what (Ebsus2)I real ly am.

This is how you re mind me of what (Ebsus2)I real ly am.

It’s not like you to say sor ry.

I was wait ing on a (F5)dif f’rent sto ry, and this time I’m mis tak en for hand ing you a (F5)heart worth break ing, (C5)and I’ve been wrong, I’ve been down, been to the bot tom of (F5)ev ’ry bot tle.
