Here's my attempt--it may not be perfect, but it should be
close enough to play. It's a great song, especially
for those of us that are "stuck". Enjoy! --Chris--
CAPO 1
INTRO: (G)(D)(Em)(C)
VERSE 1:
(G)I thought that this was supposed to (D)feel good
(Em)And if you were really mine (C)I guess it would
(G)I didn't fall in love 'cause it was
(D)the right thing to do
(C)I just went ahead and (D)fell for you
[Refrão]Oh, (G)somewhere down along the line
(D)I guess that love became a crime
(Em)This contradiction makes no sense
(C)This is punishment
(G)I feel like this is judgement day
(D)I'll raise my hand stand up and say
(Em)I don't believe I'm innocent
(C)This is (G)punishment! (D)(Em)(C)
VERSE 2:
(G)Truth is your heart was never (D)mine to take, Now I'm

(G)I prayed for it to go, God knows (D)I want it to stay
(C)But here I am loving you (D)either way
REPEAT CHORUS

(G)You'll never (D)feel, all the (Em)things I can't (C)say
(G)And I'll never (D)know if it's (C)better this (D)way
