Misc Originals – Aaron Segal - Cycle Of Abuse Saras Song (Guitar)

Em
He said he’s sorry for lashing out

G
You know it wasn’t your fault.

Am
You know you aren’t responsible

        Em
For his psychologic assault

     C
He blames it on hunger, childhood trauma,

   G
A belly ache, or some family drama

   C
He acts suicidal to manipulate

        G
so you won’t stand up and castigate him.

   Am
He acts like the victim, and makes an excuse

       C              D         Em
Oh my love, it’s the cycle of abuse.

      Em
You think about the good times you’ve shared together

G
He’s your best friend, you say.

          Am
But you shrink when he yells in his emotional spells

         Em
And you feel like you’re supposed to stay.

Em
He brings you coffee and he cooks you dinner.

G
He says he lo-oves you.

   Am
He turns on the charm and says he’s doing the work.

Em
You say you love him, too.

     Am                         Bm
Your anchor shouldn’t pull you below the water.

      C                       D
Your rock shouldn’t beat you down.

   Am                          Bm
Accept nothing less than true love from from your partner

   C                           D
I just don’t want to see you drown

Em
He says he’s sorry for lashing out

G
You know it wasn’t your fault.
