D                            Dsus2
I made you laugh, I made you cry

                        G
I made you open up your eyes

A
Didn't I?

D                          Dsus2
I helped you open out your wings,

                          G
your legs, and many other things

A
Didn't I?

Em                                 Gbm
Am I the greatest bastard that you know?

                         G
The only one who let you go?

                    A
The one you hurt so much you cannot bear?

D                               Dsus2
Well we were good, when we were good

                         G         A
When we were not misunderstood

D                                 Dsus2
You helped me love, you helped me live

                              G         
You helped me learn how to forgive

A
Didn't you?

D                           Dsus2
I wish that I could say the same

                                G
But when you left, you left the blame

A
Didn't you?

Em                                 Gbm
Am I the greatest bastard that you met?

                          G
The only one you can't forget?

                  A
Am I the one your truth's been waiting for?

D                          Dsus2
Or am I just dreaming once again?

                                 G         A
Some dreams are better when they end

D             Dsus2
Some make it, mistake it

G              A
Some force and some will fake it

D       Gbm              G         A
I never meant to let you down

D                Dsus2
Some fret it, forget it

G             A
Some ruin and some regret it

D       Gbm              G         A
I never meant to let you down

D                            Dsus2
We learn to wag and tuck our tails

                            G
We learn to win and then to fail

A
Didn't we?

D                            Dsus2
We learn that lovers love to sing

                        G
And that losers love to cling

A
Didn't we?

Em                                 Gbm
Am I the greatest bastard that you know?

                               G
When will we learn to let this go?

                         A
We fought so much, we've broken all the charm

D                         Dsus2
But letting go is not the same

                        G         A
As pushing someone else away

D              Gbm
So please don't let on

G         A
You don't know me

D           Gbm
Please don't let on

G       A
I'm not here

D           Gbm
Please don't let on

G         A
You don't love me

D               Gbm
'Cause I know you do

G         A
I know

D                     Dsus2
That some make it, mistake it

G              A
Some force and some will fake it

Hm      Gbm              G         A
I never meant to let you down

D                Dsus2
Some fret it, forget it

G             A
Some ruin and some regret it

Hm      Gbm              G
I never meant to let you down

        A
I never meant to let you

Em      Gbm              G
I never meant to let you down

        A
I never meant
