the grudge

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
G G/F#
G G/F#
 
 
[Verse 1]
       G                               G/F#
I have nightmares each week 'bout that Friday in May
    G                            G/F#
One phone call from you and my entire world was changed
Em
Trust that you betrayed, confusion that still lingers
     Em
Took everything I loved and crushed it in between your fingers
      G                              G/F#
And I doubt you ever think about the damage that you did
      G                              G/F#
But I hold onto every detail like my life depends on it
Em
My undying love, now I hold it like a grudge
      Em
Now I hear your voice every time that I think I'm not enough
 
 
[Chorus]
      C
And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream
 
How could anybody do the things you did so easily?
      G
And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine
                                                                       Am
But you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long
         Em                         D         C
It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong
 
 
[Verse 2]
    G                        G/F#
The arguments that I've won against you in my head
       G                              G/F#
In the shower, in the car, and in the mirror before bed
             Em
Yeah, I'm so tough when I'm alone, and I make you feel so guilty
      Em
And I fantasize about a time you're a little fuckin' sorry
      G                               G/F#
And I try to understand why you would do this all to me
    G                             G/F#
You must be insecure, you must be so unhappy
      Em
And I know, in my heart, hurt people, hurt people
       Em
And we both drew blood, but, man, those cuts were never equal
 
 
[Chorus]
      C
And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream
 
How could anybody do the things you did so easily?
      G
And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine
                                                                       Am
But you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long
         Em             D         C            G
It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong
 
 
[Bridge]
Em                   Am        C
Ooh, ooh-ooh, do you think I deserved it all?
Em                 Am                   C
Ooh, ooh-ooh, your flower's filled with vitriol
    D
You built me up to watch me fall
    D
You have everything, and you still want more
 
 
[Chorus]
  C
I try to be tough, I try to be mean
    C
But even after all this, you're still everything to me
      G
And I know you don't care, I guess that that's fine
    G                                                                  Am
But you know I can't let it go, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long
         Em             D                 C              D
It takes strength to forgive, but I'm not quite sure I'm there yet
         Em             D          C G
It takes strength to forgive, but
