  E5
I saw her in an empty bar
    C#5
The smell of wine and cheap cigars
B5                          A5       
Trigger visions of her face to this day
   E5
We tried to dance for years to come
    C#5
But two can't lead and waltz as one
   B5
We loved and learned and learned to love
    A5
But it was not enough
A5                 F#5
Foolish pride got in our way

E5                             C#5
  She could take my heart and soul
                            B5
  She could take my hand to hold
                               A5       F#5
  But why'd she have to take advantage of me
E5                            C#5
  I tried to pay for all the things
                         B5
  She could want or ever need
                                A5
  Don't make me pay for all the past please

   E5
So now we're living far apart
  C#5
I hope to God our paths don't cross
     B5                        A5
This may seem shallow..but her beauty makes me weak
  E5
I long to hold her once again
    C#5
And reconcile and then give in
   B5                       A5
To realize that later on we made the same mistake
A5              F#5
Hold on to the lessons you've learned

E5                             C#5
  She could take my heart and soul
                            B5
  She could take my hand to hold
                               A5       F#5
  But why'd she have to take advantage of me
E5                            C#5
  I tried to pay for all the things
                         B5
  She could want or ever need
                                C#5
  Don't make me pay for all the past

           F#5
So much to tow
       E5                            F#5
Bogged down with all the history to hold
    C#5                F#5
The blame fell hard on me
 E5         
Apologies were too short lived
    F#5                           A5
She never really could forgive mistakes

E5   C#5   B5   A5 F#5

E5                             C#5
  She could take my heart and soul
                            B5
  She could take my hand to hold
                               A5       F#5
  But why'd she have to take advantage of me
E5                            C#5
  I tried to pay for all the things
                         B5
  She could want or ever need
                                A5     F#5
  Don't make me pay for all the past

    E5
She took my heart, she took my soul
    C#5
She took my fragile hand to hold
    B5
She took advantage all the time
     A5                   F#5               E5
I'll take her back cause her love makes me blind
