G#m
I took a page out of your favorite book

You sold me lies just by the way you look

Taught me a language that I'll never speak

Baby, that ain't for me, that, that ain't for me

Baby, I'm just a man, I'm, I'm just a man
G#m
No more thinkin' about you late night
E
No more runnin' around with your friends now

Done pickin' up pieces of my soul up off the floor

I said I would die for you, baby
E
But I can't take this pain no mo

I thought I was willin'
D#
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door

But I can't play this game no more

I thought it would kill me

You never thought this day would ever come

But I looked you in the eyes and pulled the rug

You tried to take away my sanity

Baby, that ain't for me, that, that ain't for me
