key: A
A                          C#m
I could have told you they loved you
D                       A
From the way they stood still
A                       C#m
But I hope you didn't notice
D                  E
And that you never will
A                      C#m
Cos it isn't hard to imagine
D                          A
That you won't need me someday
A                          C#m
Cos I know something that you don't
D                E
You never did anyway

[Chorus 1]
E               A   C#m  D      E
And our loves already begun to brown
E                    A
And unless I can convince you
C#m        D         E
No one can want you now
E                  A   C#m      D     E
You gonna see how easy it is to fool around
E             A         D
So I have to keep you down

[Verse 2]
A                          C#m
At some point you decided
D                                A
you were burning through self esteem
A                          C#m
Locked up whatever you had left
D                       E
And trusted me with the keys
A                          C#m
Cos you thought I figured it all out
D                       A
But that's completely insane
A                          C#m
Maybe you should have considered
D                     E
No one remembers my name

[Chorus 2]
E               A   C#m  D      E
And our loves already begun to brown
E                    A
And unless I can convince you
C#m        D         E
No one can want you now
E                  A   C#m      D     E
You gonna see how easy it is to fool around
E             A         D
So I have to keep you down

[Verse 3]
A                         C#m
Your oversights gonna cost you
D               A
Maybe eventually
A                         C#m
See I've been betting against you,
D              E
unintentionally

[Chorus 3]
E               A   C#m  D      E
And our loves already begun to brown
E                    A
And unless I can convince you
C#m        D         E
No one can want you now
E                  A   C#m      D     E
You gonna see how easy it is to fool around
E             A         D
So I have to keep you down
