Lyrics

Well, you (E7)filled up my head

with so man y lies.

You (A7)twist ed my heart till some thin’ snapped in side.

I’d (C)like to give it one more try, but my give a damn’s bust (E7)ed.

You can crawl back home and say you were wrong,

(A7)stand out in the yard and cry all night long.

(C)Go a head and wa ter the lawn; my give a damn’s bust (E7)ed.

I (D)real ly wan na (E7)care,

I (D)wan na feel (E7)some thin’.

Let me (D)dig a lit tle (A)deep er.

No, sor ry, noth in’.

(A)You can (E7)say you’ve got is sues, you can say you’re a vic tim.

It’s (A7)all your par ents’ fault.

I mean, af ter all, you did n’t pick ’em.

My give a damn’s bust (E7)ed.

Well, your ther a pist says it was all a mis take, a (A7)prod uct of the Pro zac and your co de pen dent ways.

My give a damn’s bust (E7)ed.
