B Everybody knows that it don't feel right A I was waiting up in your darkest nights B A Why's it always hurt when you need it most? Never wanted love, I just fake my part Never got enough when I wanted your heart Why do I just sink when I'm trying to float? Chorus: B But you know I'm done pretending A I'm wrong when it's not my fault B And baby, I'm done pretending it's love, A when it's not your all Tell the next girl all the things that you told me All you let slip, 'cause you were hurt and you were lonely I've found that giving up ground ain't what I want Both our names carved in my bedroom door Nightmares of you and I we can't ignore How was I sold on the idea of us in the first place? For sale signs on whatever once was ours Hate saying you're the reason I have these scars But you left me thinking that I was out of line To need space Chorus: But you know I'm done pretending I'm wrong when it's not my fault And baby, I'm done pretending it's love, when it's not your all Tell the next guy all the things that you told me All you let slip, 'cause you were hurt and you were lonely I've found that giving up ground ain't what I want You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
