Intro: A  
I was nAever any good at lEoving you
I was never any good at coming thrAough for you
You're gDoing to feel much better
When yoDmu cut me loose forever
I was nAever any good
I was nF#ever any good
NBever any good at lEoving you
I was dying when we met, I bet my life on you
But you called me and I folded like you knew I'd do
You called my ace, my king, my bluff
Okay, you win, enough's enough
I was never any good
Never any good
I was never any good at loving you
I was prC#etty good at taking out the garbage
PrF#metty good at holding up the wall
DeC#aling with the fire and the earthquake
But tDhat don't count, thD#dimat don't count
TA/ehat don't count, tF#hat don't count
TBhat don't count for nothing much at Eall
I was never any good at loving you
I was just some kind of tourist in your bed looking at the view
But I can't forget where my lips have been
Those holy hills, that deep ravine
I was never any good
I was never any good
Never any good at loving you
I was pretty good at taking out the garbage
I was pretty good at holding up the wall
I'm sorry for my crimes against the moonlight
I didn't think, I didn't think
I didn't think, I didn't think
I just didn't think the moon would mind at all
I was never any good at loving you
At doing what a woman really wants a man to do
You're going to feel much better
When you cut me loose forever
I was never any good
Never any good
I was never any good at loving you
