Em D C
[Verse]
ForgiEmve, sounds Dgood
ForgeGt, I’m not sure I Ccould
They sEmay time heals evDerything
But I’m still C/Gwaiting
I’m throEmugh with dDoubt
There’s noGthing left for me to figurCe out
I’ve Empaid a priDce
And I’ll keep Cpaying
[Chorus]
I’m not Gready to make nice
I’m not Dready to back down
I’m still Emmad as hell and
I don’t have time to go Cround and round and round
It’s too lGate to make it right
I probably Dwouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m Emmad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do Cwhat it is you think I sChould
[Verse]
I knoEmw you saiDd
GCan’t you just get oCver it
It turneEmd my whole Dworld around
CAnd I kind of like itC  
[Bridge]
I Emmade my bed and I sleep like a baby
With Dno regrets and I don’t mind sayin’
It’s a sGad sad story when a mother will teach her
DaughCter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And Emhow in the world can the words that I said
SDend somebody so over the edge
That they’d Gwrite me a letter
Sayin’ that I better Cshut up and sing
COr my life will be Cover
[Interlude]
G Em D C
G Em D C
[Chorus]
I’m not Gready to make nice
I’m not Dready to back down
I’m still Emmad as hell and
I don’t have time to go Cround and round and round
It’s too Glate to make it right
I probably Dwouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m Emmad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do Cwhat it is you think I should
I’m not Gready to make nice
I’m not Dready to back down
I’m stilEml mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go Cround and round and round
It’s too Glate to make it right
I probably Dwouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m Emmad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do Cwhat it is you think I sChould
     N.C.
to do what it is you think I should

[Intro]

Em D C

[Verse]

Em D

Forgive, sounds good

G C

Forget, I’m not sure I could

Em D

They say time heals everything

C/G

But I’m still waiting

Em D

I’m through with doubt

G C

There’s nothing left for me to figure out

Em D

I’ve paid a price

And I’ll keep paying

[Chorus]

I’m not ready to make nice

I’m not ready to back down

I’m still mad as hell and

I don’t have time to go round and round and round

It’s too late to make it right

I probably wouldn’t if I could

‘Cause I’m mad as hell

Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I know you said

Can’t you just get over it

Em D

It turned my whole world around

C C

And I kind of like it

[Bridge]

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby

With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’

It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her

Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger

And how in the world can the words that I said

Send somebody so over the edge

That they’d write me a letter

Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing

C C

Or my life will be over

[Interlude]

‘Cause I’m mad as hell

Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I’m not ready to make nice

I’m not ready to back down

I’m still mad as hell and

I don’t have time to go round and round and round

It’s too late to make it right

I probably wouldn’t if I could

‘Cause I’m mad as hell

C C

Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

N.C.

to do what it is you think I should

[Interlude]

Forget, I’m not sure I could

They say time heals everything
