D Em Bm G
[Verse 1]
DThe hourglass is running low
EmI'm pretty sick of you talking
EmI think you know
BmDon't waste your breath on me you've donGe enough
DEverything you said about all of your dreams
EmYour future with me
EmI think you really believed
BmI never call your lying like I dGid
[Pre-Chorus]
So I don't care if you staAy up
Watching my parade ofBm  
Doing what I'm doinGg
GOff of what you've ruined
[Chorus]
DBut I think you should own up and aEmpologize
For playing all those Bmlies
For sharing thGings I said when I was wasted
DI think you should grow up and apolEmogize
You can't take back Bmthe lies
But it's a pretGty good place to start
[Verse 2]
DIn solitude has come to an end
EmI wrote my principles whims and I would do it again
BmWe both know its you who fucked Git up
DThe aftermath has treated me well
EmI bet its harder for you when you keep playing pretend
BmI'm sure that's too much to comGprehend
[Pre-Chorus]
So I don't care if you staAy up
Watching my parade ofBm  
Doing what I'm doinGg
GOff of what you've ruined

DBut I think you should own up and aEmpologize
For playing all those Bmlies
For sharing thGings I said when I was wasted
DI think you should grow up and apolEmogize
You can't take back Bmthe lies
But it's a pretGty good place to start
[Bridge]
GIts pretty done now looking Aback
Wondering why you never really had my back
GWhy you let me take the fall for everything
ABroken star broken hearts so anything
GI think its time for you let me off the hook now
AWe were two about the choices that we took love
BmI think its only fair you look me in the eyes and
ATake a breath be sincere and apologize
ABut I.
[Chorus]
DBut I think you should own up and aEmpologize

[Intro]

D Em Bm G

[Verse 1]

The hourglass is running low

I'm pretty sick of you talking

I think you know

Bm G

Don't waste your breath on me you've done enough

Everything you said about all of your dreams

Your future with me

I think you really believed

Bm G

I never call your lying like I did

[Pre-Chorus]

So I don't care if you stay up

Watching my parade of

Doing what I'm doing

Off of what you've ruined

[Chorus]

D Em

But I think you should own up and apologize

For playing all those lies

For sharing things I said when I was wasted

D Em

I think you should grow up and apologize

You can't take back the lies

But it's a pretty good place to start

[Verse 2]

In solitude has come to an end

I wrote my principles whims and I would do it again

Bm G

We both know its you who fucked it up

The aftermath has treated me well

I bet its harder for you when you keep playing pretend

Bm G

I'm sure that's too much to comprehend

[Pre-Chorus]

So I don't care if you stay up

Watching my parade of

Doing what I'm doing

Off of what you've ruined

[Chorus]

D Em

But I think you should own up and apologize

For playing all those lies

For sharing things I said when I was wasted

D Em

I think you should grow up and apologize

You can't take back the lies

But it's a pretty good place to start

[Bridge]

G A

Its pretty done now looking back

Wondering why you never really had my back

Why you let me take the fall for everything

Broken star broken hearts so anything

I think its time for you let me off the hook now

We were two about the choices that we took love

I think its only fair you look me in the eyes and

Take a breath be sincere and apologize

But I.

[Chorus]

D Em

But I think you should own up and apologize

For playing all those lies

For sharing things I said when I was wasted

I think you should grow up and apologize

You can't take back the lies

But it's a pretty good place to start

[Outro]
