[Intro] C [Verse]
     C                        C
I've tried and I've tried for so long to please you

F                        C
Gave you every bit of my time

C                           C
Gave you everything I could possibly give you

   F                      C
My body, my heart, and my mind

  C                    C
I turned my family and good friends against me

F                        C
Listened to my own heart break

      C                 C
And I did it all in the name of love

G                       C    C
Gave up myself for your sake
[Chorus]
    C F                   C
And you never cared about me

C F                 C
You only hurt and deceive

  C  F                       C   F
I realize after all of these years

     C         F         G          C
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears
[Verse]
       C                               C
You've cheated, you've lied and you've hurt me

F              C
Over and over again

    C                      C
You promised to love me forever

       F                           C
But forever reached a bitter sweet end

     C                       C
Been blinded by love to your actions

       F                     C
But at last I can see my way clear

     C                              C
I've cried and I've tried, and I've tried and I've cried

    G                          C
But you, you've never shed one tear
[Chorus]
       C F                   C
'Cause you never cared about me

C F                 C
You only hurt and deceive

  C  F                       C   F
I realize after all of these years

     C         F         G          C
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears
[Break]
Am        G                          F          C
You ain't worth, you ain't worth the salt in my tears

Am           G                       F              C
Treated like dirt, I'm hurt, I ain't hangin' 'round here

Am             G               F          C
You've left me crying, left me crying for years

    Am        G         F          C
But you ain't worth the salt in my tears
[Outro] Am G F C
