Tom: G
G D
Apology without change is manipulation
Em C
Oh, and loving you always had me hesitating
G D
She played you, then you played me
Em C
You said this time don't worry
G D
You made me a fool and I followed the rules
Em C
Never good enough for you
[Verse 2]
G D
The way you talk to someone is a reflection
Em C
Of how much respect you have for them as a person
G D
On and off, no consistency
Em C Em
Strung me along and my feelings
D
Like I was nothing
C
[Chorus]
G D
I fell in love with your potential
Em C
Always made you my essential
G D
Why did everyday feel like a chase?
Em C
Shouldn't loving someone go both ways?
[Verse 3]
G
I'vе said it once and I'll say it again
D
'cause I mean it
Em
I won't bе the girl that you use to get over
C
your feelings
G D
And it's sad that you showed me attention
Em
But somebody questioned
C
Made me feel like a trophy in all of the worst
ways
G
That ain't affection
D Em C
No, that ain't affection
[Chorus]
G D
'Cause I fell in love with your potential
Em C
Always made you my essential
G D
Why did everyday feel like a chase?
Em C
Shouldn't loving someone go both ways?
[Bridge]
Em
And maybe if it's right
D
And you became the perfect guy
C
Who knows what to do
G
Oh, but you're just a child
Em
And I know I deserve someone who
D
Can appreciate my worth
C
'Cause I gave you my undivided
G
You showed me this was single-sided
[Chorus]
G D
'Cause I fell in love with your potential
Em C
Always made you my essential
G D
Why did everyday feel like a chase?
Em C
Shouldn't loving someone go both ways?
G D
Drainin' all my energy
Em C
For someone who never made me a priority
G D
Why did everyday feel like a chase?
Em C
Shouldn't loving someone go both ways?
[Outro]
G D
I lowered the bar and baby it wasn't that hard
Em C
So, good luck to the next girl's broken heart you cause
G D
Built you boy in my dream, can't believe you'd mislead
Em C
A girl who was ready to give you everything
