Lyrics

For (Em)give,

sounds (D)good.

For (G)get,

and I’ll keep (C)pay in’.

I’m not (G)read y to make nice, I’m not (D)read y to back down.

I’m still (Em)mad as hell and I don’t have time to go (C)round and round and round.

It’s too (G)late to make it right.

I prob ’ly (D)would n’t if I could, ’cause I’m (Em)mad as hell, can’t bring my self to do (C)what it is you think I should.

(CN.C.)I (Em)know

you (D)said,

“Can’t you just get (C)o ver it?”

It (Em7)turned

my whole (D)world a round and I kind of (C)like it.

I (Em)made my bed and I sleep like a ba by, with (D)no re grets.

And I don’t mind say in’ it’s a (G)sad, sad sto ry when a moth er will teach her (C)daugh ter that she ought to hate a per fect stran ger.

And (Em7)how in the world can the words that I said (D)send some bod y so o ver the edge that they’d (G)write me a let ter, say in’ that I bet ter (Cmaj7)shut up and sing or my life will be o ver?

For (G)get,

I’m not sure I (C)could.

They (Em7)say
