    G#
Is Mercury, in retrograde

That I've always made 'cause
                  D#
I wanna blame you,
                     G#
But I can only blame myself

G#
Yeah, it's easy to throw you under the bus
     Fm
I'll call you crazy, while filling my cup
   C#                           D#
I, say these things to hurt you
                  G#
But I, only hurt myself

    Fm         D#          G# D# C#
Oh, I can only take responsibility, for me

Chorus:
          G#
It takes two, two sides to every story
          Fm                       C#
Not just you, I can't keep ignoring
                 D#
I admit, half of it
                     G#
I'm not that innocent, oh yeah
          G#
It takes two, two sides to every story

Not just me, you can't keep ignoring
                         D#                  G#
But let me be, first baby, to say "I'm sorry"
(I'm sorry)

I've faced my demons, yeah, I paid my dues
I had to grow up, I wish you could too
I wanted to save you
But I can only save myself

Oh, I can only be the change I want to see
Yeah, to see

Chorus

Fm                        D#
I point my finger but it does me no good, I
C#
Look in the mirror and it tells me the truth, yeah
Fm                           D#
Why all these lessons always learned the hard way
C
Is it too late to change, oh

Chorus
