Lyrics

I took a chance, I took a shot. And you might think I’m (Em7)bul let proof, but I’m not. You took a swing, I took it hard. And down here from the (Em7)ground I see who you are. I’m sick and tired of your (G5)at ti tude. I’m feel in’ like I don’t (D)know you. You tell me that you (Em7)love me, then cut me down. (Csus2)round. And I need you like a (G5)heart beat, but you know you got a (D)mean streak. Makes me run for (Em7)cov er when you’re a round. And here’s to you and your tem per. Yes, I re (G)mem ber what you (D)said last night. And I know that you see what you’re do in’ to me. (CN.C.)Tell me why. (CN.C.)You could write a (G5)book on how to ru in (D)some one’s per fect (Em7)day. Well, I get so con (G5)fused and frus trat ed, for (D)get what I’m try’n’ to say. Oh, Why do you have to (C)make me feel small so (G)you can feel whole in side? (Em7)Why do you have to (C)put down my dreams so (A)you’re the on ly thing on my mind? I’m sick and tired of your (G5)at ti tude. I’m feel in’ like I don’t (Dsus)know you. You tell me that you (Em7)want me, then cut me (Csus2)down. I’m sick and tired of your (G5)rea sons. I got no one to be (D)lieve in. You ask me for my (Em7)love, then you push me a round. Here’s to you and your tem per. Yes, I re (G)mem ber what you (D)said last night. And I know that you see what you’re do in’ to me. Tell me (G)why. (Em7)Why, tell me why. I take a step back, let you go. I told you I’m not (Em7)bul let proof. Now you know.
