[Verse 1]
Em C G D/F# Em
Forget everything I ever told you,
G D
I’m sure I lied way more than twice,
G Em C G D/F# Em
But understand I am not Emily Post,
C D
You know I’m nowhere near that precise.

[Verse 2]
Am G D
And I struggle with these etiquettes like you wouldn’t believe,
Em C G D
I’m puzzled by the policy,
Am G D
‘Cause after everything else you draw out of me,
Em C D
You still expect cute curtsies.

[Chorus]
G
But I’m through, through, through,
C
Carrying you on my shoulders,
G
And I’m through, through, through,
C
Hiding,
G
I’m through, through, through,
C
Living my life for you,
Am
Yes, I hope for both our sakes,
C
I’m through, through, through.

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Em C G D/F# Em
I hope you’re happy now with your hold on me,
G D
It sure struck me awful strong,
G Em C G D/F# Em
And don’t you dare call this disloyalty,
C D
There’s no way you could be more wrong.

[Verse 4]
Am G D
I’m just dragging my devotion in a last-ditch retreat,
Em C D
Seeking some safety,
Am G D
I’m tired of bleeding for no good reason,
Em C D/F#
Is that so hard to see?

[Chorus]
G
But I’m through, through, through,
C
Carrying you on my shoulders,
G
And I’m through, through, through,
C
Hiding,
G
I’m through, through, through,
C
Living my life for you,
Am
Yes, I hope for both our sakes,
C
I’m through, through, through.
