Em          Bm     Am
Our battles are repetitious
Em              Bm Am
if not broken poetry
     Em          Bm      Am
And maybe that's the attraction
Em                     Bm        Am
that you're as self-absorbed as me

[Pre-Chorus]
     Am                           Em
You jumped to the conclusion and landed on my chest
     Am                      D
Now how am I supposed to make you see

[Chorus]
                      Em                                D
I'll just write this down with hopes that you'll understand
           Am                                G            D        Em
I will no longer be disciplined by the frustrations of an insecure man
                         D                               Am                       G
And while I kissed your face you'll know that I will no longer apologize for your former
  D        Em
lovers' mistakes

[Interlude]
Em Bm Am (x2)

[Verse]
    Em      Bm      Am
My past is mine to keep
        Em          Bm       Am
Now who are you to question me
    Em        Bm         Am
Perhaps, someday you'll learn
     Em       Bm      Am
Too bad it's not our turn

[Pre-Chorus]
     Am                           Em
You jumped to the conclusion and landed on my chest
     Am                      D
Now how am I supposed to make you see

[Chorus]
                      Em                                D
I'll just write this down with hopes that you'll understand
           Am                                G            D        Em
I will no longer be disciplined by the frustrations of an insecure man
                         D                               Am                       G
And while I kissed your face you'll know that I will no longer apologize for your former
  D        Em
lovers' mistakes

[Bridge]
Am            Bm
You set the standard for my future
Am            Bm
You set the standard for my future (lovers)
Am            Bm
You set the standard for my future
Am            Bm
You set the standard for my future (lovers)

You set the standard

[Chorus]
                      Em                                D
I'll just write this down with hopes that you'll understand
           Am                                G            D        Em
I will no longer be disciplined by the frustrations of an insecure man
                         D                               Am                       G
And while I kissed your face you'll know that I will no longer apologize for your former
  D        Em
lovers' mistakes
G         D         Em  D  Am
I will write this down
G       D          Em
Former lovers' mistakes
