C             G/B           F
I almost liked the way you fooled me
                       G
To make me feel like this would last forever
 C               G/B             F
But twice a night, I'd wake up sweating
                      G
To sleep without you here would do me better

Chorus:
 Am    G
I-I, I-I
F                   G
Called you out and labeled you my problem
 Am    G
I-I, I-I
F                  G
I should know that it takes one to know one

You represent the codependence
I was down, you wore the shining armor
The side-effect is cold resentment
Tricked me into thinking you were stronger

Chorus:
I-I, I-I
Called you out and knew you were my problem
I-I, I-I
I should know that it takes one to know one

Hold me slowly
You don't even know me
Home now, lights out
Pictures just destroy me
Come through late, and
Tell me that you want it bad
Hold me slowly
You don't even know me
Home now, lights out
Pictures just destroy me
Come through late, and
Tell me that you want it bad
