                             by Boston
       D DmF G D DmF G
Intro- , , , , , , , 
            D
I’ve been used
         F         G      D
But I’m takin’ it like a man
I’m confused
         F         G           D
But I’m doin’ the best that I can
            G            A         D
I’ve been tossed around plenty before
               G             A          Bm
I’ve had this heart of mine broken and more
          G     A          D
I can’t find a reason for sure
                 G       A   D       Dm
But I’ve gotten used to bad news
 F                            G      D  Dm  F  G
(can’t find me a reason for sure)
               D
Don’t tell me why
      F          G       D
it’s over I can see the end
But please don’t lie
         F                  G      D
If you leave me, leave me like a friend
            G             A         D
I’ve been tossed around plenty of times
           G           A        Bm
And I’ve read between all the lines
               G            A     D
You’re just another in the grand design
                 G       A   D
And I’ve gotten used to bad news
Abm     Db    Abm     Db

I know what you’re sayin’ is bad
     Abm                        Db         D
It’s not what I wanted but I’m ready for that
I’m ready for that, yea.
