[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G][C][G][C]
[G]
[C]How [G]could you

[Verse 1]
let her touch you
[C]In a place you [G]didn't want touched
[C]How could you let[G] her get
so [C]close to you
[G]That she could kiss your neck
And kiss it gently
And kiss it gently
[C]And kiss it [G]gently

[Verse 2]
How could [G]you take
her number from her
[C]When [G]you met her in that bar
[C]How could you off[G]er her a drink
[C]And then the front sea[G]t of your car[C]
And [G]kiss her gently
[C]And kiss her[G] gently
[C]And kiss her har[G]d

[Verse 3]
How could you [Em]lie to me right
[C]to [G]my face?
How could your [Em]best friend's
ex-girlfriend's
Young[C]er [G]Younger sister's mate,
know before [Em]I did?
Be[C]fore [Em]I did
Be[C]fore [G]I did

[Verse 4]
How could [G]you string me along for so long
For just over eleven months
How could I be so stupid and sublime
You know I think I had a hunch
[C]About this [G]anyway
About this whole thing
About this girl

[Verse 5]
I thought that [G]it was just a phase
You were so distant and so cold
I thought that it was just your age
And the fear of getting old
You acted different
You were so different

[Verse 6]
You were impatient
[G]
And you [Em]lied to me [C]right [G]to my face
And [Em]your best friend's
ex-girlfriend's
Young[C]er [G]Younger sister's mate,
knew before [Em]I did
Be[C]fore [Em]I did
Be[C]fore [G]I did

[Verse 7]
'Cause if you [Em]run into
the eye of [C]the storm
To get 'round the [G]back
You better hit the [D]floor
'Cause screaming
[Em]No, I can't take it
I can't [C]take it
I can't take it anymore
[G]'Til your eyes and your
[D]mouth is sore
Doesn't [Em]help anyone
Doesn't [C]do anything
But you'd [G]do something else
If you [D]only could

[Verse 8]
And [Em]I wish I could grow up
Wish [C]I could be well behaved
But every [G]time I look him in the eye
I [D]send him to the grave
And that [Em]pretty, pretty girl
With [C]her nice neat lips
With your [G]eyes on her chest
And your [D]hands on her hips

[Verse 9]
This [Em]itch, this burn
This [C]pain is straining
[G]Dealing, turned out
That [D]we don't need to
[Em]Help it go away
[C]So that's what
[G]Leaving me
The [D]gift you gave him

[Verse 10]
[Em]I can't take it
I can't [C]take it
I can't take it anymore
[G]I can't take it
I can't [D]take it
I can't take it [Em]anymore
I can't take it
I can't [C]take it
I can't take it anymore
[G]I can't take it
I can't [D]take it
I can't take it anymore
[Em]I can't take it
I can't [C]take it
I can't take it anymore
[Em]I can't take it
I can't [D]take it
I can't take it anymore
[G]I can't take it
I can't [C]take it
I can't take it anymore
[G]I can't take it
I can't take it
I can't [D]take it anymore
