[Verse 1]
DBreak the news, you're walking out
CTo be a good man for someone else
DSorry I was never good like CyouCmaj7  
DStood on my chest and kept me down
Hated Chearing my name on the lips of a crowd
DDid my best to exist just for Cyou
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bet you rue the Dday you kissed a writer in the Cdark
Bet you rue the Dday you kissed a writer in the Cdark
Now she's gonna Dplay and sing and lock you in her Cheart
Bet you rue the Dday you kissed a Cwriter in the Gdark
[Chorus 1]
GI am my mother's child, I'll Amlove you 'til my Embreathing stops
I'll Amlove you 'til you Emcall the cops on Dme
GBut in our darkest hours, I Amstumbled on a Emsecret power
I'll Amfind a way to Embe without you, Dbabe
[Verse 2]
DI still feel you, now and then
CSlow like pseudoephedrine
DWhen you see me, will you say I've Cchanged?Cmaj7  
DI ride the subway, read the signs
I Clet the seasons change my mind
I Glove it here since I've stopped needing Dyou
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bet you rue the Dday you kissed a writer in the Cdark
Bet you rue the Dday you kissed a writer in the Cdark
Now she's gonna Dplay and sing and lock you in her Cheart
Bet you rue the Dday you kissed a Cwriter in the Gdark
[Chorus 2]
GI am my mother's child, I'll Amlove you 'til my Embreathing stops
I'll Amlove you 'til you Emcall the cops on Dme
GBut in our darkest hours, I Amstumbled on a Emsecret power
I'll Amfind a way to Embe without you, Dbabe
[Chorus 3]
GI am my mother's child, I'll Amlove you 'til my Embreathing stops
I'll Amlove you 'til you Emcall the cops on Dme
GBut in our darkest hours, I Amstumbled on a Emsecret power
I'll Amfind a way to Embe without you, Dbabe
