Not Cut Out (Original)
Katy McAllister
[Verse 1]
CShe's beautiful, this I Galways knewD  
DI'm just too stubborn to admit that's trueC  
CShe's had you hooked like I Gnever knew
DExacly just how to do
CAnd I sugar coated every Gdream of you
DThat you're unable to make come true
CAnd I lost faith the seventh Gtime around
DIt appears as though I'm still here now
Em7This doesn't mean I don't love Geverything about you
DBut sometimes that's not enough
Em7and It doesn't mean I couldn't Gstick it out a few more yearsD  
DIt just means I'm not that tough
Whether you like it or Cnot
[Chorus]
CI'll be around most Glikely
For years to come if you Dneed anything
But I'll never be your lover
No I'm not cut out
CFor that job obviously
GI'm not enough and I won't be Dever if not now
Your temporary lover you lay Cdown
So Gdon't fall back on me Dnow
Cuz I'm not cut Gout
[Verse 2]
CI've been in trouble since the start of Gthe first roundD  
Dand I've dug a hole I can't get myself outC  
Cbeen miserable off and on for Ga while
DJust give it two more months, wait it out
Cand I told myself that you came back beGcause you love me
DBut it turns out that I found out it's cuz you're alone again
Em7and you never hesitated once to leave Gme standing
DIn corners watching you choose her over me again
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Cuz I'm not cut Cout
For Gthis, it's not worth Dit
From my end, I've been over it
CToo many times, Gtoo many linesD  
DI've never seen you so GclearlyD  
You're so clear to meC  
[Verse 3]
CSometimes I think I know you Gbetter than you know yourselfD  
DI'll call your every move, before you move itC  
CThe only problem is that I have too much Gfaith in you
DI see the best in you, but you wont prove it
CIt's obvious that it's real love because yGou disgust me
DAnd I put up with you willingly when nobody else will
Em7Thought I could stick it out a few more Gyears
DBut who's to say, you would actually stay
[Chorus]
CI'll be around most Glikely
For years to come if you Dneed anything
But I'll never be your lover
No I'm not cut out
CFor that job obviously
GI'm not enough and I won't be Dever if not now
Your temporary lover you lay Cdown
So Gdon't fall back on me Dnow
Cuz I'm not cut Gout
