[verse 3]

There [E]is nothing left [Am]to say, to you [E]
That you wanna [C]hear, that you ought [D]to know
I think I should go, [F]the things I’ve [E]done are way [Am]too shameful

[chorus]
[Am]And I’ve done you so [E]wrong, treated you [C]bad
Strung you [D]along, oh shame on [F]myself
I don’t know [E]how I got [Am]so tangled

[chorus]
[F]So you better [E]turn your head and run,, [Am]and don’t look back
