A E
let me start by saying that the way i
F#m D
feel for you has never once changed
A E
and the games i played , mistakes i made
F#m D
leave me sorrier than you’ll ever know
A E F#m
we got a problem baby i can’t lie
D
coz lately i realize that i
A
never knew that we was on the same ( playing field )
E
knew that it was wrong but we ( let it be )
F#m
and i know you never knew when you said “i do”
D
that u would have to face all the ( pain you feel )

chorus
A E
and it’s killing me girl that you have to live with this
F#m
live with the lies i tell
D
live with the pain you feel
A E F#m D
knowing the man you love is fooling around
A
oh baby said it’s killin me girl
E F#m
said i just dont understand
D
why you wanna be with this kind of man ( ooh ho )
A
why would you love a fool
E
with all the things i do
F#m
i know its hard for you
D
hard for you to live with this

verse 2 ( same chord pattern as verse 1 )

trade memories from moments
treat love to be lonely
guess that’s just the man in me
blame it on celebrity
when the night time feel like the right time
and then spotlight feel like the bright light
but its really just my fears
and it still don’t dry your tears
when i , say she aint you
when i , really love you more
when you , say if its true
why’d you do it for?
and i , i really don’t have no excuse
i break you heart , make you cry
i just wanna say goodbye

chorus 1

xbridge ( chords = ??? )

what i feel i don’t even gotta write it
its like poison in my body and there’s now way to deny that my heart
is a time bomb
when seconds left to explode
but i gotta let you know before it blows
that it aint on you , it’s my fault
all the gossipy talk , behind your back when you walk
by the time you will know
before long you will see
that you deserve more , you derserve more
you derserve so much more
that what i’ll ever be

chorus to the final part .

and it’s killing me girl that you have to live with this
live with the lies i tell
live with the pain you feel
knowing the man you love is foolin around
oh baby said it’s killin me girl
said i just dont understand
why you wanna be with this kind of man ( ooh ho )
why would you love a fool
with all the things i do
i know its hard for you
hard for you to live with this ( uh )
live with this
can you , live with this , girl ( ohh )
i just want you know . . .

got something that you need to know
you’re the realest shit i never wrote
can’t hold it gotta let it go
know , that i mean every note . ( yeah )
yeah [ x5 ] , hhmmm
