A              A              G                D

[Verse 1]
A                               G                D
I caught your teardrops with my shoulder when you cried
A                           G               D
I called in sick so I could comfort you all night
A                           G                       D
Now you've got cold feet, well just let me break the ice
A                           G    D     G    Bm
I did your laundry and I folded it real nice
A
So, baby, why?

[Chorus]
A
(I put in the hard work)
G                 D
Now I'm defeated, face down in the dirt
A
(I put in the hard work)
    G                 D
And I can't seem to climb out of this hurt
A
(I put in the hard work)
    G                  D
If it's true that you get what you deserve
A
(I put in the hard work)
        G                 D
Then why?  (I put in the hard work)

[Verse 2]
A                              G                 D
I held your hair back when you had too much to drink
A                        G                   D
I used my bare hands to unclog that bathroom sink
A                                 G               D
When you got de-pressed and your mind was on the blink
A                               G       D          G     Bm
I peeled you off the floor and drove you to a shrink

[Chorus]
A
C'mon, baby, why? (I put in the hard work)
    G                D
Now I'm defeated, face down in the dirt
A
(I put in the hard work)
    G                 D
And I can't seem to climb out of this hurt
A
(I put in the hard work)
   G                   D
If it's true that you get what you deserve
A
(I put in the hard work)
            G                     D
Then baby why?    (I put in the hard work)

Interlude: no guitar.
(I put in the hard work)

[Verse 3]
A                         G             D
I know it's painful to become a butterfly
A                           G                     D
You have to break yourself before your wings can fly
A                           G              D
But still, I wonder when I look up at the sky
A                                     G       D       G      D
If this ain't hell then where does love go when it dies?

Cuz baby, I...

[Chorus]  2x
A
(I put in the hard work)
     G               D
Now I'm defeated, face down in the dirt
A
(I put in the hard work)
    G               D
And I can't seem to climb out of this hurt
A
(I put in the hard work)
    G                  D
If it's true that you get what you deserve
A
(I put in the hard work)
       G            D      G       D            A
Then, God, what did I'd to do to deserve this curse?

                         G       D
(I put in the hard work)
A
(I put in the hard work)
    G                D                 A
Now I can't seem to climb out of this hurt

(I put in the hard work)
    G                  D
I know it's worthless, but for what it's worth
A                        G
(I put in the hard work)
              D
I put in the hard work
A
