[Intro]
C
[Verse]
C C
I've tried and I've tried for so long to please you
F C
Gave you every bit of my time
C C
Gave you everything I could possibly give you
F C
My body, my heart, and my mind
C C
I turned my family and good friends against me
F C
Listened to my own heart break
C C
And I did it all in the name of love
G C C
Gave up myself for your sake
[Chorus]
C F C
And you never cared about me
C F C
You only hurt and deceive
C F C F
I realize after all of these years
C F G C
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears
[Verse]
C C
You've cheated, you've lied and you've hurt me
F C
Over and over again
C C
You promised to love me forever
F C
But forever reached a bitter sweet end
C C
Been blinded by love to your actions
F C
But at last I can see my way clear
C C
I've cried and I've tried, and I've tried and I've cried
G C
But you, you've never shed one tear
[Chorus]
C F C
'Cause you never cared about me
C F C
You only hurt and deceive
C F C F
I realize after all of these years
C F G C
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears
[Break]
Am G F C
You ain't worth, you ain't worth the salt in my tears
Am G F C
Treated like dirt, I'm hurt, I ain't hangin' 'round here
Am G F C
You've left me crying, left me crying for years
Am G F C
But you ain't worth the salt in my tears
[Outro]
Am G F C
