Came for the honey, stayed [A#m] for a queen.
I [D#m] was a fool to think she [F#] wouldn't sting.
Climbing that ladder, Jacob [A#m] was saying,
She's got you wrapped around her finger, [F#] she ain't playing.
Pushed me the right way, right [A#m] on my wound and
Said [D#m] you forgave me, but end [F#] up resenting
Oh, all the shameful things we do
When we're afraid to speak our truth.
She'd had her luck, sometimes [G#m] the only [A#] kind of love I got [F#m] is tough
[C#] Sometimes [F#] the only [D#] kind of love I got [F#] is tough, that shit [Bm] is tough.
Mmm,
[F#] mmm, mmm, mmm, [A#] mmm
[F#]
[C#]
Down on [F#] my river, full [A#m] on disclosure
Hell [D#m] fucking Mary, are you calling [F#] that closure?
You call that sacred [A#m] tobacco placement
How [D#m] can I trust your guides?
To me [F#] they're just strangers
You couldn't fix us, that [A#m] drove you crazy
[D#m] I'm just surprised you thought it was all mine [F#] to carry
And no one can change me, [A#m] only I [D#m] can do that
That [F#] goes for you [C#] too, those [D#m] are some big [D#] facts
Mmm, [F#] mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
I [D#m] couldn't cope [F#] with what I'd done
[C#] You'd use my shame as [G#] a [F#] weapon
She'd had her luck, sometimes [G#m] the only kind [A#] of love I [C#] got is tough
[C#] Sometimes [F#] the only kind [D#] of love I [F#] got is tough, [Bm] that shit is tough.
Mmm, [F#] mmm,
[C#] mmm, mmm, mmm
When [F#] I come home now, things [A#m] are just different
Coming to terms with the [F#] me I'd been missing
That makes me angry, [A#m] angry like you are
But here's the difference, I've learned [F#] to love my scars
[D#] And that makes [C#] me miss [C#] you
How fucked [D#m] up is that, the way you [C#] loved me?
Where else will [D#m] I find that?
Mmm, mmm, [F#] mmm, mmm
I didn't think [F#] I had to watch my six
With somebody I thought I could trust with it
She'd had her luck, [G#m] sometimes the only [D#m] kind of love I [F#] got is tough
[C#] Sometimes [G#m] the only [A#] kind of love I [F#] got is tough
[C#]
[Bm] Sometimes no [F#] matter what you [D#] do, it's [F#] not enough
[Bm] That shit is tough
Mmm, [F#] mmm, [C#] mmm, mmm,
