πΈ Verse 1:
B
I was around when the bridge got burned, I take a lesson but I never learn

And I walk my way, and I don't look back, they say it's not that bad man,
F# B
I think I'm running out of ways to believe me
πΈ Verse 2:
B
So I took apart my television, I'd come to think I need a bigger one
E G#m F#
When I look back now, had we lost our heads, you could tell I'm slipping backwards
F# B
By the way I could not understand what the man said
πΈ Chorus:
E B E
And you were never there when I was a beaten broken person, knocking at your door

I took you for a better friend but I've been wrong before
πΈ Interlude:
B E G#m F# F# B
πΈ Verse 3:
B
I recommend what the old man said, "you gotta do it if you want to get ahead"

But if you want to get a heart you got to give yours to me

And I think I'm slipping backwards
F# B
So you can't tell me to be there if you won't be

E B E
You were never there when I was a beaten broken person, knocking at your door

I took you for a better friend but I've been wrong before
