VERSE
     C
The reason my love,
                  F
my priorities got so fucked up,
                     G
and I'm sorry that I led you to believe
                    C
you don't mean that much to me, anymore
          G
cause you do, and I care, and I'd do anything,
         C
but I'm out on a limb here,
                                F
and you're just sitting there, smoking your thin lipped, lady-sized cigarettes,
   G                       C    G
and laughing, ooh, ha ha ha ha.


PRE-CHORUS
    C
And I just want you
  F
to believe me
                 G
and to believe in me, oooh,
          C    G   G7
believe in me.


CHORUS
  Dm
But I know that hurt ain't what you need.
 G
   I say
                   C
there is a fine line between love and trust
    F
and believing the things that we must believe in.
 Dm
   So don't forget about all the little things
      G (let ring)
that mean so much to someone like me.

OUTRO
C                           F
   And I know that it's only skin deep
      Dm                         G
but I know how deep that can be

cause you tell me
    Dm                 G (let ring)
and I just want you to
              C (keep strumming)
believe in me.

Oooh that's the reason, my love.
