Fm               D#
Long nights are getting longer
G#          C#       Fm
Can't bury this anxiety
          D#              G#
It's only getting stronger
Fm           D#
I tried, but I can't fake it
G#              C#              Fm
You changed my mind but not my heart
                D#         G#
That's why it's complicated

         C#                                     D#
And I'm tryin, I'm tryin, I'm tryin to let you know
          C#                                     D#
That I'm tryin, I'm tryin, I'm tryin to let you go

Chorus:
           Fm        G#
'Cause I'm bad, bad news
        C#           G#
Yes, I'm no good for you
    C#                G#
And I thought I could be the one
     D#
But, I'm not fooling anyone
    Fm       G#
I'm bad, bad news
      C#            G#
It's the sad, sad truth
     C#               G#
And I thought I knew how to love
    D#
But baby I was born to run
      Fm        G#       C#
I'm bad, bad, bad, bad news
 Fm        G#       C#
Bad, bad, bad, bad news

Some words hurt worse than weapons
I push them down, they tear me up
I didn't wanna let them out
'Cause your eyes are filled with questions
But all my answers lead to tears
Too late to say I'm sorry now (I'm sorry, I'm sorry)

And I'm tryin', I'm tryin',
I'm tryin' to let you know
That I'm tryin', I'm tryin',
I'm tryin' to let you go

Chorus

And I'm tryin', tryin', tryin' to let you know
That I'm tryin', tryin', tryin' to let you go

Chorus

Fm        G#       C#
Bad, bad, bad, bad news
Fm        G#       C#
Bad, bad, bad, bad news
