Gmin A# D#
Well I can’t keep the first night
Cmin A# D#
This love didn’t hit her quite right
Gmin A# D#
You can say anything that you need to sleep
Bmin A D
But the look on your face won’t convince me
CHORUS
Gmin D7 D# Cmin
You said you loved me, but you couldn’t quite tell
Gmin D7
And all I wanted was to run like hell
D# D/D# Cmin
And hope that I saved myself
Gmin A# D#
It’s not a new shirt that doesn’t fit
Cmin A# D#
It’s just a tear in the fabric
Gmin A# D#
You can stitch it up, but still see the skin
Cmin A# D#
Right where you let him creep in
CHORUS
Gmin D7 D# Cmin
You said you loved me, but you couldn’t quite tell
Gmin D7
And all I wanted was to run like hell
D# D/D# Cmin
And hope that I saved myself
Gmin A# D#
Every fish needs a chance to swim
Cmin A# D#
And every shark has a special grin
Gmin A# D#
So while I’m building the walls to conceal the mess
Cmin A# D#
You’re slipping right out of that black dress
CHORUS
Gmin D7 D# Cmin
You said you loved me, but you couldn’t quite tell
Gmin D7
And all I wanted was to run like hell
D# D/D# Cmin
And hope that I saved myself
