[G] I wanna be [D] good, I wanna be [Bm] strong
[A]
But I've been eating bad, I've done [Bm] wrong
[A]
[G] I've taken his [D] money, I've given him [Bm] hell
[A]
[D] Can't he take the shit off, cause he know he don't [Bm] care
[G] We [A] can say what we mean and [F] feel what we say
[C] We don't like to mess [G] around
[Bm] We best look cool to each other
[G] When we're falling [C] down
[A] [F#] Just like [G] an old [D] friend
[Bm] Putting [A] me on [G] my feet [D] again
[Bm] Giving [E] me back [A] my [D] pride then
[G] Letting [A] me go just [G] like an old [D] friend

[D] But [G] he must be one [D] for being by my [Bm] [A] side

I've broken his heart, I've shaken his [Bm] frame
[A] But [D] still he doesn't want anything from a fool like [Bm] me
[G] We [A] won't talk for a year [F] or two
Maybe when [C] we're through
We won't say [G] much
[Bm] Even so we know that our [G] mind is never out [C] of touch

[Bm] Putting [A] me on [G] my feet [D] again
[Bm] Giving [E] me back [A] my [D] pride then

Don't wanna get sentimental
But both of us [G] understand
[A] We'll never have to say goodbye
Just say you love
