FI’ve tried but I don’t believe her. DmShe lies she’s a deceiver.
GmI might, I might just leave her Cbe.C7/Bb  
AlFone in my apartment, Dmlights out I’m in the dark again.
GmI’ll wait for someone to rescue Cme………to sC7/Bbave me.
[Pre-Chorus]
DmAnd if she throws her heart away,
AmI’ll be there on garbage day,
DmTo sift through what’s left I guess,
AmTo sort through the AblonGmeliness.
[Chorus]

A life without so much pain inside.
