Am When I guess I should have just come out and told D you right from the start Em C D Why must I always tell you all I want is this? C D G I guess cause I didn't want to break your heart. And you said Am What'd you think I that I was gonna do? Am Curl up and die just because of you? D I'm not that weak, you know Am What'd you think that I was gonna do? Am Try to make you love me as much as I love you? D G How could you be so low? G Bm You arrogant man, C D What do you think that I am? Em C D My heart will be fine D Just stop wasting my time G Bm And now I know that you will be okay C D And that I got what I want G Bm And that's rid of you D Good-bye G Bm And its not cause I'll be missing you C D That makes me fall apart C D It's just that I didn't mean to break C D No, I didn't mean to break C D No, I didn't mean to break G Dm Your heart G Dm Your heart
