There is nothing left, I'm giving in

I can't win, I can't win

I've been wasting time, I won't pretend
G
No, not again, never again
[Pre-Chorus]

I was fooled, how could I know that this was doomed to fall apart?
Am G D G C
But the truth is hard to hold when time reveals a dark and heavy heart
G C
A dark and heavy heart
[Verse 2]

And these bloodshot eyes are battle worn

Goddamn this war, can't take much more

But my dignity and pride are like a shield to this abuse
Am G D
In the end I will survive, I've seen the darkest days
Bb Am G

Bb Am G
A life away from you

And though you pushed to the end
Eb F Bb Am
It's time for me to stand my ground
[Bridge]
G Bb Am Bb5
Once you're betrayed, you never trust
G Bb Am Bb5
And when it's from the ones you love

Nothing's the same, not as it was

Never as it was

There is nothing left, I'm giving in
G C
I can't win, I can't win
[Instrumental]

D
And though I hang by a thread
Eb F G
You'll never keep a good man down

And though you pushed to the end
Eb F G
It's time for me to stand my ground
D
My better angels defend
Eb F G
My dignity at least for now
D
You'll never hurt me again
Eb F G
No, you won't keep this good man down
Eb F G
No, you won't keep this good man down
