[Opening]
[Bm]I wake up with blood-shot eyes, [Bm]struggled to memorize
[A]The way it felt between your thighs, [F#]pleasure that made you cry
[Bm]Feels so good to be bad, [Bm]not worth the aftermath, after that
[A]After that, [F#]try to get you back. But I…

[chorus]
[G]I still don’t have [A]the reason, [G]and you don’t have [A]the time.
[G]And it really makes me wonder, if I [A]ever gave a [Bb]fuck about [Bm]you.

[chorus]
[Bm]Give me something to [Bm]believe in.
‘Cause I [Em]don’t believe in you [G]anymore [F#]anymore.
[Bm]I wonder if it [A]even makes a difference to [G]try.
[F#]So this is goodbye.

[verse 2]
[Bm]God damn my spinning head, [Bm]decisions that made my bed
[A]Now I must lay in it, and [F#]deal with things I’ve left unsaid
[Bm]I want to dive into you, [Bm]forget what you’re going through
I [A]get behind, make your move, [F#]forget about the truth. But I…

[chorus]
[G]I still don’t have [A]the reason, [G]and you don’t have [A]the time.
[G]And it really makes me wonder, if I [A]ever gave a [Bb]fuck about [Bm]you.

[chorus]
[Bm]Give me something to [Bm]believe in.
‘Cause I [Em]don’t believe in you [G]anymore [F#]anymore.
[Bm]I wonder if it [A]even makes a difference to [G]try.
[F#]So this is goodbye.

[chorus]
[Bm]And you told me how you’re [Bm]feeling.
But I [Em]don’t believe it’s true [G]anymore, [F#]anymore.
[Bm]I wonder if it [A]even makes a difference to [G]cry.
(Oh no) [F#]So this is goodbye.

[Closing]
[G]I’ve been here before, [A]one day I’ll wake up
And it [F#]won’t hurt [Bm]anymore, [G]you caught me in a lie
[A]I have no alibi, [F#]the words you say don’t have a meaning ’cause

[chorus]
[G]I still don’t have [A]the reason, [G]and you don’t have [A]the time
[G]And it really makes me wonder, if I [A]ever gave a [Bb]fuck about [Bm]you

[chorus]
[Bm]Give me something to [Bm]believe in.
‘Cause I [Em]don’t believe in you [G]anymore [F#]anymore.
[Bm]I wonder if it [A]even makes a difference to [G]try.
[F#]So this is goodbye.

[chorus]
[Bm]And you told me how you’re [Bm]feeling.
But I [Em]don’t believe it’s true [G]anymore, [F#]anymore.
