This song wasn't posted and it's one of my favourite Missy songs so I decided to post it! (capo at fourth fret for recorded key of C#m) INTRO: Am Em Dm G 'G# (two times) VERSE-A:
Am                 Em
I never told you I don't know why

Dm                  G        'G#
All those years all those lies

Am                    Em
Cling to my body like oil and fire and they

Dm                  G           'G#
Will not sleep they will not tire__

Am  Em  Dm  G 'G#

Am                    Em
We have a problem you see my dear 'cos I

Dm                  G             'G#
Can't move on and I can't stay here

Am               Em
I gotta fix it I need your tears but

Made me believe in lies you told but

Dm                          G             'G#

Girls never tell you I don't know how but

Dm                  G             'G#
Sometimes men you a-buse your power

Am                   Em
We are strong and we do rebound but

F                 G
Bruising tends to break us down so so
