The Grudge Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G]

[Verse 1]
I have [G]nightmares each week
about that Friday in May
One phone call from you
and my entire world was changed
[Em]Trust that you betrayed,
confusion that still lingers
Took everything I loved and crushed it
in between your fingers
And I [G]doubt you ever think about
the damage that you did
But I hold onto every detail
like my life depends on it
[Em]My undying love, now I hold it like a grudge
And I hear your voice every time
that I think I'm not enough

[Chorus 1]
And I [C]try to be tough, but I wanna scream
How could anybody do the things
you did so easily?
And I [G]say I don't care, I say that I'm fine
But you know I can't let it go
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for [Am]so long
It takes [Em]strength to forgive,
but I [D]don't [C]feel strong

[Verse 2]
The [G]arguments that I have won
against you in my head
In the shower, in the car
and in the mirror before bed
Yeah, I'm so [Em]tough when I'm alone
and I make you feel so guilty
And I fantasize about a time
you're a little fuckin' sorry
And I [G]try to understand why you would
do this all to me
You must be insecure,
you must be so unhappy
And I [Em]know in my heart
hurt people hurt people
And we both drew blood,
but, man, those cuts were never equal

[Chorus 2]
And I [C]try to be tough, but I wanna scream
How could anybody do the things
you did so easily?
And I [G]say I don't care, I say that I'm fine
But you know I can't let it go
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for [Am]so long
It takes [Em]strength to for[D]give,
but I [C]don't feel [G]strong

[Bridge 1]
[Em]Ooh, do [Am]you think I de[C]served it all?
[Em]Ooh, your [Am]flowers filled with [C]vitriol
You [D]built me up to watch me fall
You have everything and you still want more

[Chorus 3]
I [C]try to be tough, I try to be mean
But even after all this,
you're still everything to me
And I [G]know you don't care,
I guess that that's fine
But you know I can't let it go
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for [Am]so long
It takes [Em]strength to for[D]give,
but I'm not [C]quite sure I'm [D]there yet
It takes [Em]strength to for[D]give, but
[C][G]
