C#
I don't know where it started but
             Fm
I've been through too much
D#
Did you forget your promise?
                         Cm
What about, what about, what about us?

C#
Thought you were paradise
                    Fm
Bang, bang, then I realized
D#                              Cm
I just fell down the rabbit hole
C#
You had a hold on me
                  Fm
False sense of security
D#                               C#
Now I'm standing up on my own (Oh-oh)

I died inside
But I had to do that to survive
And it hurts that you know
I found it hard to let you go
I'm bitter, right now
But I know in time my life will get better
Oh, life will get better

Chorus:
C#
I don't know when it started
                 Fm        D#
But I've been through too much
Did you forget your promise?
            Cm       C#
Oh, baby, what about us?
Now I'm left broken-hearted
           Fm      D#
I gave you all my love
You talk about trust
      Cm         C#
Then what about us?

                         Fm          D#
What about, what about, what about us?
                         Cm
What about, what about, what about us?

I tried to step away
Your love had a sour taste
Gotta protect my energy, hmm

I'm bitter, right now
But I know in time my life will get better
Oh, life will get better (Oh)

Chorus

What about, what about, what about us?
What about, what about, what about us?
What about, what about, what about us?
What about, what about, what about us?

I died inside
But I had to do that to survive
And it hurts, and you know
I found it hard to let you go
I'm bitter, right now
But I know in time my life will get better
Oh, life will get better, better

Chorus

What about, what about, what about us?
What about, what about, what about us?
What about, what about, what about us?
What about, what about, what about us?

Oh-oh-oh-oh
