Verse:

Am (h/o)           G
Forgive, sounds good
    C                   Fm
Forget, I’m not sure I could
      Am             G
They say time heals everything
               Fm
But I’m still waiting


Am               G
I’m through with doubt
        C                      Fm
There’s nothing left for me to figure out
Am          G
I’ve paid a price
              C
And I’ll keep paying

        C
I’m not ready to make nice
        G
I’m not ready to back down
        Am
I’m still mad as hell and
                        Fm
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
        C
It’s too late to make it right
        G
I probably wouldn’t if I could
        Am
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
                         Fm (2 bars)
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should


Am         G
I know you said
C                  Fm
Can’t you just get over it
Am                 G
It turned my whole world around
F (strum it up!)
And I kind of like it


Bridge (same chords as verses)
Am
I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
G
With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’
C
It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Fm
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
Am
And how in the world can the words that I said
G
Send somebody so over the edge
C
That they’d write me a letter
Fm
Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing
Fm (2bars)
Or my life will be over


Fill: Am,  G,  Fm (x2)


        C
I’m not ready to make nice

I’m not ready to back down
        Am
I’m still mad as hell and
                        Fm
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
        C
It’s too late to make it right
        G
I probably wouldn’t if I could
        Am
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
                         Fm (2 bars)
