Lyrics

For give,

sounds (D)good.

For get,

I’m not sure I could.

They say

time heals ev ’ry thing,

but I’m still (C)wait ing.

I’m through

with doubt.

There’s (G)noth ing left for me

to fig ure out.

I’ve paid

a price

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.

I know

you said,

“Can’t you just get o ver it?”

It turned

my whole world a round

and I kind of (C)like it.

I (Em7)made my bed and I sleep like a ba by, with 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 daugh ter that she ought to hate a per fect stran ger.

And 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 (C)shut up and sing or my life will be o ver?

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.

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.

I’m not (C)what it is you think I should,

(C)what it is you think I (Em)should.

For give,

sounds (D)good.

For get,

I’m not sure I could.

They say

time heals (D)ev ’ry thing,

but I’m still (G)wait ing.
