TO USE A CAPO (it makes it way easier) TRANSPOSE -3 AND PUT CAPO ON THIRD FRET. [Verse 1]
Gm
I would react badly
N.C. To the slightest hint of hesitance
Gm
He’d bend awkwardly to suit my mood
N.C. No word from his defense
Gm
I’d cry knowing how my tears
N.C. Felt like acid burning through his skin
Gm
Pushed every little button

                                      Gm
But the right one that would let me in
[Pre-chorus]
    Gm             F6   Dm7
Now he’s afraid of me

Gm             F6   Dm7
He’s afraid of me
[Chorus]
   Eb            F
It took me by surprise

    Gm            Bbmaj7
The hatred in his eyes

     Eb                 F
I’ve pushed this man as far as he could go

Gm                  Bbmaj7
  But he lacked the words to let me know

Eb         F              D7                 Gm
  He acted out, now I can see it is my fault
[Verse 2]
Gm
I made changes that went unnoticed
N.C. Sang songs for deaf ears
Gm
He mistook my silence for punishment
N.C. As it had been all these years
Gm                                                                  Gm
I’d cry knowing how my tears felt like acid burning through his skin
[Pre-chorus]
    Gm             F6   Dm7
Now he’s afraid of me

Gm             F6   Dm7
He’s afraid of me
[Chorus]
   Eb            F
It took me by surprise

    Gm            Bbmaj7
The hatred in his eyes

     Eb                 F
I’ve pushed this man as far as he could go

Gm                  Bbmaj7
  But he lacked the words to let me know

Eb         F
  He acted out, now I

   Eb            F
It took me by surprise

    Gm            Bbmaj7
The hatred in his eyes

     Eb                 F
I’ve pushed this man as far as he could go

Gm                  Bbmaj7
  But he lacked the words to let me know

  He acted out, now I can see it is my fault
