xintro : A F#m A F#m

A
every time i end up waking up in some hotel without my
F#m
set of keys
A
coming to , remembering the way you turned me out when i was
F#m
on my knees

( F#m )
you think that was
D F#m E
one up for you
( E ) D F#m E
but i know i scored something too

A
when i see the way you have to struggle just to do a little
F#m
simple thing
A
i feel apologetic just because i’m not particularly
F#m
suffering

( F#m )
so i let you
D F#m E
take me down
( E )
i’m like your
D F#m E
rent – A – clown

C Em
when i saw my baby cry
F G
i knew that he loved me
C Em F
that was some great victory
( F ) G
he cried because of me

Am G
he hit me with his belt
F G
but his tears were all i felt

C Em Am E7
when i saw my baby cry
F G
i~~~~~~~~~ knew~~~~~~~~
C G Am Am
he loved me

( bridge )
C G Am Am

A
when you try and cut me down and push me back if i attack your
F#m
attitude
A
i rise up to the challenge ’cause i like to taste the sugar of your
F#m
violent mood

( F#m ) D F#m E
just like a stormy sea
( E )
you’re natural
D F#m E
poetry to me

C Em
when i saw my baby cry
F G
i knew he loved me
C Em F
that was some great victory
( F ) G
he cried because of me

Am G
he hit me with his belt
F G
but his tears were all i felt

C Em Am E7
when i saw my baby cry
F G
i~~~~~~~~~ knew~~~~~~~~
C Em Am Am
he loved me

( outro )
F
i knew
G C
he loved me
