G#b A#bm Our stars never aligned and we did a bad thing C#b F#b I hold onto these grudges like I wish you held me G#b A#bm Reluctantly surrender my incessant need C#b F#b For love so all consuming that it ruins me G#b A#bm You promised it was real, well I guess you misspoke So call it what it is (It's a sick, sick joke) Chorus: F#b And nobody's laughing now G#b A#bm I wanna be merciful, I don't know how C#b F#b Swear I'm really trying but I'm all worn out G#b A#bm And all that happened hurt me more than I care to talk about Outro: C#b F#b G#b And it goes against my nature to believe you're bad A#bm C#b But why'd you have to go and lie to me like that?
