The Grudge

[Intro] G  G/F#
        G  G/F#

[First Part]

       G                         
I have nightmares each week 'bout 
      G/F#
that Friday in May
    G                         
One phone call from you and my 
   G/F#
entire world was changed
Em
Trust that you betrayed, confusion 
that still lingers
     Em
Took everything I loved and crushed 
it in between your fingers
      G                            
And I doubt you ever think about 
  G/F#
the damage that you did
      G                            
But I hold onto every detail like 
  G/F#
my life depends on it
Em
My undying love, now I hold it like 
a grudge
      Em
Now I hear your voice every time 
that I think I'm not enough

[Chorus]

      C
And I try to be tough, but I wanna 
scream

How could anybody do the things you 
did so easily?
      G
And I say I don't care, I say that 
I'm fine
But you know I can't let it go, I've
 tried, I've tried, I've tried for 
Am
so long
Continues after the ad
         Em                        
It takes strength to forgive, but I
 D         C
 don't feel strong

[Second Part]

    G                        G/F#
The arguments that I've won against 
you in my head
       G                         
In the shower, in the car, and in 
     G/F#
the mirror before bed
             Em
Yeah, I'm so tough when I'm alone, 
and I make you feel so guilty
      Em
And I fantasize about a time you're 
a little fuckin' sorry
      G                        
And I try to understand why you 
       G/F#
would do this all to me
    G                             
You must be insecure, you must be 
G/F#
so unhappy
      Em
And I know, in my heart, hurt 
people, hurt people
       Em
And we both drew blood,

But, man, those cuts were never 
equal

[Chorus]

      C
And I try to be tough, but I wanna 
scream

How could anybody do the things you 
did so easily?
      G
And I say I don't care, I say that 
I'm fine
But you know I can't let it go, I've
 tried, I've tried, I've tried for 
Am
so long
         Em             D         
It takes strength to forgive, but 
C            G
I don't feel strong

[Bridge]

Em                   Am   
Ooh, ooh-ooh, do you think I 
     C
deserved it all?
Em                 Am            
Ooh, ooh-ooh, your flower's 
       C
filled with vitriol
    D
You built me up to watch me fall
    D
You have everything, and you still 
want more

[Chorus]

  C
I try to be tough, I try to be mean
    C
But even after all this, you're 
still everything to me
      G
And I know you don't care, I guess 
that that's fine
    G                              
But you know I can't let it go, 
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried 
 Am
for so long
         Em             D         
It takes strength to forgive, but 
        C              D
I'm not quite sure I'm there yet
         Em             D          
It takes strength to forgive, but
