[Verse 1]
Am             G
I would react badly

                          F       G
To the slightest hint of hesitance
Dm C
 Am              G
He'd bend awkwardly to suit my mood

              F        G
No word from his defense
Dm C
 Am              G
I'd cry knowing how my tears

                         F            G
Felt like acid burning through his skin
Dm C
        Am           G
Pushed every little button

          F                   G
But the right one that would let me in
Dm C
    Dm             C
Now he's afraid of me

    Dm             C
Now he's afraid of me
[Chorus]
    Em           G
It took me by surprise

    C            G
The hatred in his eyes

      C          D      Am              G
I've pushed this man as far as he could go

    C             F                G
But he lacked the words to let me know

     C         G                      D    B7
He acted out, now I can see it is my fault
[Verse 2]
Am       G
I made changes
That went unnoticed
 F                  G
Sang songs for deaf ears
Dm C
Am              G
He mistook my silence for punishment

F               G
As it had been all these years
Dm C
    Am             G                       F           G
I'd cry knowingly how my tears felt like acid burning through his skin
Dm C
    Dm             C
Now he's afraid of me

    Dm             C
Now he's afraid of me
[Chorus]
    Em           G
It took me by surprise

    C            G
The hatred in his eyes

      C          D      Am              G
I've pushed this man as far as he could go

    C             F                G
But he lacked the words to let me know

     C         G                      D    B7   C
He acted out, now I can see it is my fault
