Chorus:
             F
The way you felt in my arms, our chemistry was sacred
      Am                          G
Oh, I fell for your charm, I was so infatuated
           F
But you left me in the dark and my heart completely vacant
            Am                     G
Now I don’t know-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

         F
Is your heart just pre-conditioned for brevity?
                  Am                       G
I don't mean to accuse you of refusing longevity
                F
But I cannot excuse you for abusing my empathy
    Am    G
My empathy

F
I can take rejection
Am         G
But you gave the impression
F
That this was the inception
Am            G
Of something real

Chorus:
             F
The way you felt in my arms, our chemistry was sacred
      Am                          G
Oh, I fell for your charm, I was so infatuated
           F
But you left me in the dark and my heart completely vacant
            Am                     G
Now I don’t know-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
               F
How you could look me in the eye and tell me that you love me
          Am                       G
When you knew it was a lie, I was headed for Kentucky
          F
When you called to say goodbye, how did I not see it coming?
             Am                    G
Now I don’t know-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Maybe I'm the one to blame, have a tendency
For always ignoring my brain when it says to me
That someone's been manipulating my empathy
My empathy, mm

I can take rejection
But you gave the impression
That this was the inception
Of something real

Chorus

         F
I don't know
         Am  G
I don't know
         F
I don't know
         Am  G
I don't know

Chorus:
The way you felt in my arms, our chemistry was sacred
Oh, I fell for your charm, I was so infatuated
But you left me in the dark and my heart completely vacant
Now I don't know-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
