Am C G F
AmYou didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me
CYou didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me, oh
GYou didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for meF  
You unfColded your arms
and unclenched your fists
And I dAmropped all my bags
And then on that star I wished
CWhat I would do, what I would do
To be lAmoved, by Gby you
I Copened the door and I watched as you looked at me
With Amhonest confusion, and certainly unrelieved
CWhat I would do, what I would do
To be lAmoved, by Gby you
AmYou didn't ever, oh
You didn't ever care for me, oh
CYou didn't ever, oh
You didn't ever care for me, oh
GYou didn't ever careF  
So Gnow I'm sitting here wondering why
AmYou didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me
CYou didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me, oh
GYou didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for meF  
I can't tCake back the bite
This fruit was not meant for me
DeAmception and vice
At the finest I'd ever seen
But Cwhat I would do, what I would do
To be lAmoved, by Gby you
And the Cfunny thing is
That I settled for the untAmruth just because
I'm slave to the fantasy of Cbeing in love
And what I would do to be lAmoved, by Gby you
CThinking it through
Now I see everything
How Amdid I not know it
Life with you's but a dream
But Cwhat I would do
What I would do  
To be lAmoved, by Gby you
AmYou didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me, oh
CYou didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me, ohG  F  
So Gnow I'm sitting here wondering why

Capo 3 [Without Capo: Cm(Am)-Eb(C)-Bb(G)-Ab(F)]

Am C G F

You didn't ever care for me

You didn't ever care for me, oh

You didn't ever care for me

You unfolded your arms

and unclenched your fists

And I dropped all my bags

And then on that star I wished

What I would do, what I would do

Am G

To be loved, by by you

I opened the door and I watched as you looked at me

With honest confusion, and certainly unrelieved

What I would do, what I would do

Am G

To be loved, by by you

You didn't ever, oh

You didn't ever care for me, oh

You didn't ever, oh

You didn't ever care for me, oh

G F

You didn't ever care

So now I'm sitting here wondering why

You didn't ever care for me

You didn't ever care for me, oh

You didn't ever care for me

I can't take back the bite

This fruit was not meant for me

Deception and vice

At the finest I'd ever seen

But what I would do, what I would do

Am G

To be loved, by by you

And the funny thing is

That I settled for the untruth just because

I'm slave to the fantasy of being in love

Am G

And what I would do to be loved, by by you

Thinking it through

Now I see everything

How did I not know it

Life with you's but a dream

But what I would do

What I would do

Am G

To be loved, by by you

You didn't ever care for me

You didn't ever care for me, oh

You didn't ever care for me

G F

You didn't ever care for me, oh

So now I'm sitting here wondering why

You didn't ever care for me

You didn't ever care for me, oh

You didn't ever care for me

Care for me, why

So now I'm sitting here wondering why
