Oh, I can't stand another heart–ache though you say you're my friend, I'm at my wits end
G                    Bm                         CBmAm

G                 Bm                            CBmAm
I pick myself up, off the ground, to have you knock me back down
            C           Bm             C          D
again and again, when I ask you to explain – you say

               C           D  Bm            Em        C           D           Bm        Em
