[Verse 1]
  G                D
I thought I saw an angel
        Em            C
Calling me across the yard
         G                D
She said 'baby, it's been real
        C
Now I'm gone'
  G                    D
I should've known much better
          Em                  C
You can't tame something that wild
       G                D
When I asked her if she loved me
         C
She just smiled

[Chorus]
            G              D
But it's my fault; I don't care
        Em                     C
I can't hate you if you're not here
         G         D         C
Once you go, never ever turn around
            G           D
I have sacrificed and I burned
              Em     D        C
Oh, you gotta live before you learn
      G                    D                         C
And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts

[Verse 2]
       G              D
And my angel with her dirty wings
    Em              C
She used to make me smile
G                   D              C
She kept all of her secrets locked inside
     G                 D
In a place I could not reach her
         Em                C
Though I tried with all my might
       G                    D             C
When I begged for something real she said 'goodbye'

[Chorus]
            G              D
But it's my fault; I don't care
        Em                     C
I can't hate you if you're not here
         G         D         C
Once you go, never ever turn around
            G           D
I have sacrificed and I burned
              Em     D        C
Oh, you gotta live before you learn
      G                    D                         C
And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts

[Bridge]
         C          Em      D     G
And I am sure it'll be just fine
        C          Em          D
If I remember, she wasn't ever mine
         C          Em      D     G
And I am sure it'll be just fine
       C           Em          D
If I remember, she wasn't ever mine

[Verse 3]
        G               D
And the truth about the two of us
   Em               C
Is we don't make no sense
     G                 D             C
When we made love, our love was just pretend
            G            D
And now I'm trying to forget her
          Em             C
The way I feel her in my bones
      G             D               C
And I wonder if she thinks of me at all

[Chorus]
            G              D
But it's my fault; I don't care
        Em                     C
I can't hate you if you're not here
         G         D         C
Once you go, never ever turn around
            G           D
I have sacrificed and I burned
              Em     D        C
Oh, you gotta live before you learn
      G                    D                         C  D  C
And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts

      G                    D                         G
And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts
