C                                 F         C G/B
Please don't make promises that you can't keep
Am                           F       C
Your best intentions end up hurting me
                              F       C
No matter what, I'll love you endlessly
        G/B    Am                     F       C
I know we're blood, but this love is bad for me

                       F       C
I can't tell you what I wanna say
         Am         F              C
'Cause I, I'm afraid that you won't change
                           F            C  G/B
Sometimes, I just wanna scream in your face
Am                      F              C
But when you're in pain, I just walk away

       G                                     Am
And my, my therapist told me to write you a letter, mmm
F                                         C
She said if I did, it would make me feel better
G                         E/G#     Am
But it wouldn't do shit even if I sent it
                  F                       Fmaj7
'Cause you won't get it, you're too damn selfish, mmm

Chorus:
C                                F         C    G/B
Please don't make promises that you can't keep
Am                           F       C
Your best intentions end up hurting me
                              F       C
No matter what, I'll love you endlessly
       G/B   Am                          F   C
But I gotta run, I gotta run from your reality
               Am                     F       C
I know we're blood, but this love is bad for me

Damn, it's hard for me to let go
Of someone I held so close, mm
Damn, it's hard for me to draw that line
And leave you on the other side

But my, my therapist told me to write you a letter, mm
She said if I did, it would make me feel better, oh
But it wouldn't do shit even if I sent it
'Cause you won't get it, you're too damn selfish, oh

Chorus

              G
And when you lie (And when you lie)
           Am
There's a part of you that dies
          F
That I'm left with (I'm left with)
         Fmaj7
It gets hectic (It gets hectic)
          G
When you lie (And when you lie)
E/G# Am
 I  wonder why I try
               F                        Fmaj7
But you can't help it, you're too damn selfish, mmm

Chorus:
Please don't make promises that you can't keep
'Cause your best intentions end up hurtin' me
No matter what, I'll love you endlessly
But I gotta run, I gotta run from your reality
I know we're blood, but this love is bad for me
I know we're blood, but this love is bad for me
