As recorded by Kacey Musgraves (2024 release) [Intro] G A G A D [Verse 1]
D                   F#m                              D
I guess I thought I knew you, but you don't know yourself

                    F#m                     Em
My heart was on the table, yours was on the shelf

                  A                              Em
You promised me a castle, but all you built were walls

                     A                       G
I treated you like a king, but even kingdoms fall
[Chorus]
G                   A           G
I couldn't love you into loving me

G
Keeping me should have been easy, but

A                            G
Obviously, it just wasn't easy

                 A                        G
I gave you water, but I couldn't make you drink

G
Keeping me just within reach

       A                   G       A   D
Always holding me at arm's length
[Verse 2]
D                   F#m                        D
I tried to pull you closer, but you untied the rope

              F#m                     Em
Any chance of closure just went up in smoke

D            A                     Em
You did me a favor, evеn though it hurt

                A                               G
I guess even my savior complеx couldn't make it work
[Chorus]
G                   A           G
I couldn't love you into loving me

G
Keeping me should have been easy, but

A                            G
Obviously, it just wasn't easy

                 A                        G
I gave you water, but I couldn't make you drink

G
Keeping me just within reach

       A                   G        A
Always holding me at arm's length, hmm

         G      A
At arm's length
[Bridge]
              G
I should have known

        A                                   G A  N.C.
That forever was never a hill you could die on
[Interlude] G A G A [Out-Chorus]
G                   A           G
I couldn't love you into loving me

G
Keeping me should have been easy

A
Obviously, it just wasn't easy for you

G                A                        G
I gave you water, but I couldn't make you drink

G
Keeping me just within reach

       A                   G        A
Always holding me at arm's length, hmm

         G      A   G
At arm's length
