D Dsus2
I made you laugh, I made you cry
G
I made you open up your eyes
A
Didn't I?
D Dsus2
I helped you open out your wings,
G
your legs, and many other things
A
Didn't I?
Em F#m
Am I the greatest bastard that you know?
G
The only one who let you go?
A
The one you hurt so much you cannot bear?
D Dsus2
Well we were good, when we were good
G A
When we were not misunderstood
D Dsus2
You helped me love, you helped me live
G
You helped me learn how to forgive
A
Didn't you?
D Dsus2
I wish that I could say the same
G
But when you left, you left the blame
A
Didn't you?
Em F#m
Am I the greatest bastard that you met?
G
The only one you can't forget?
A
Am I the one your truth's been waiting for?
D Dsus2
Or am I just dreaming once again?
G A
Some dreams are better when they end
D Dsus2
Some make it, mistake it
G A
Some force and some will fake it
Hm F#m G A
I never meant to let you down
D Dsus2
Some fret it, forget it
G A
Some ruin and some regret it
Hm F#m G A
I never meant to let you down
D Dsus2
We learn to wag and tuck our tails
G
We learn to win and then to fail
A
Didn't we?
D Dsus2
We learn that lovers love to sing
G
And that losers love to cling
A
Didn't we?
Em F#m
Am I the greatest bastard that you know?
G
When will we learn to let this go?
A
We fought so much, we've broken all the charm
D Dsus2
But letting go is not the same
G A
As pushing someone else away
Hm F#m
So please don't let on
G A
You don't know me
Hm F#m
Please don't let on
G A
I'm not here
Hm F#m
Please don't let on
G A
You don't love me
Hm F#m
'Cause I know you do
G A
I know
D Dsus2
That some make it, mistake it
G A
Some force and some will fake it
Hm F#m G A
I never meant to let you down
D Dsus2
Some fret it, forget it
G A
Some ruin and some regret it
Hm F#m G
I never meant to let you down
A
I never meant to let you
Em F#m G
I never meant to let you down
A
I never meant
