G Am Em C D Em C

Verse 1:
      G            Am7
It was our third date, and we were in the park
     Em        C
It was a Tuesday in the middle of March
      D           Em          C
I said the wrong thing, I knew it in my heart, I guess
      G         Am7
I read your fortune, I saw the mother wound
     Em             C
You lit a cigarette, then we were in my room
      D             Em      C
You took my clothes off, I was in debt to you again

Chorus:
      G          D       C
I should've known that it was no way to start a conversation
D           Em      D
Loving you lowered my expectations
           C      D
Loving you lowered my expectations
      G        D          C
I should've shown you I'm no saint before it got complicated
D           Em         D
Loving me wеnt from a high worth chasing
               C      D
To something lower than your expеctations

Verse 2:
     G           Am7
You had a bad night, and your patience was gone
        Em        C
You'd been the good guy for a little too long
      D             Em           C
I read your cards right, but I wished I'd been wrong for once
      G            Am7
It was our third month, you were renting a room
      Em          C
It was our first fight in the middle of June
      D            Em           C
I tried to reach you, there was no getting through for us

Chorus:
      G          D       C
I should've known that it was no way to start a conversation
D           Em      D
Loving you lowered my expectations
           C      D
Loving you lowered my expectations
      G        D          C
I should've shown you I'm no saint before it got complicated
D           Em         D
Loving me wеnt from a high worth chasing
           C         D
Loving me went from a wall worth breaking
           Em         D
Loving me went from a life worth saving
               C
To something lower than your expectations
