         Am
It was a fun,
         Em7
Strange summer
         Dm                   F  G
I rolled on, didn't think of you
         Am
We lost touch
          Em7
With each other
      Dm
Fall came
              F  G
And I had to move

 Dm                F
Movin' backwards, hurt comes after
 C                           G
Healin' doesn't happen in a straight line

Chorus:
      Am                         Em7
If I cry just a little and then laugh in the middle
     Dm7
If I hate you and I love you, and then
    F            G
I change my mind
      Am                     Em7
If I need just a little more time to
deal with the fact
          Dm7
That you shoulda treated me right
          F                G           Am
Then I'm more than just a little justified
     Em7
Mmm, mmm
     Dm7
Mmm, mmm
     F                G           Am
I'm more than just a little justified

To touch somebody
You know I tried to make that you
And when you lied, said you didn't want me
Tell me, what was I supposed to do?

Movin' onwards, feelin' strong, but
Healin' doesn't happen in a straight line

Chorus

If I die just a little, inside just a little
If I want you and I call you, then I change my mind
If I need just a little more time
to deal with the fact
That I shoulda treated you right
I'm more than just a little

Chorus:
If I cry just a little and then laugh in the middle
And I hate you and I love you, and then
I change my mind (A million times)
If I need just a little more time
to deal with the fact
That you shoulda treated me right
Then I'm more than just a little justified
Mm, mm
I'm more than just a little justified
