      Dm                              Am
Would I have married either one if it wasn't for violent sex?

  Dm                             Am
I wish the answer was simple, or even just simplex

  Bb                           F
I know that I'm a heeb-onistic paradox in a dress

    Gm                              A
But why is it when I gave so much I got back so much less?

    Dm                               Am
I'm sorry you felt my shadow was cast for your oppression

Dm                                    Am
You're the one who turned partnership into competition

Bb                                             F
All the painful things we went through and the terrible things that were said

      Gm                           A
Won't happen to me now cuz only professionals share my bed

Dm                                 Am
Why could you never trust me, I'll never understand

  Dm                                               Am
I invited you both to share what I started but you needed the upper hand

   Bb                                F
So I relinquished my control to show solidarity

        Gm                                 A
But you forgot whose songs and acumen made all of our money

    Dm                 Am
The humiliation I felt when everyone else knew

            Dm                                      Am
You threw a party for me with all my friends that I wasn't invited to

     Bb                                                 F
"Hey Mike why didn't you show up to party last night we all had so much fun"

          Gm                              A
Because I didn't hear about it, or get an invite from anyone

F  C/E Eb                           F           Bb                   F C
          Shame on you for shaming, for blaming covertly taming me

           F                C/E            Eb     Bb
Filling my already troubled head with your insecurities

C          Bb
     After all the magical years we shared

C                                    F
     and all the wonderful things we built

      C/E         Eb
We're just cliché tragedies,

C           F              Bb                          C
     such a lucid love now clouded with resentment and unrequited guilt

Dm      C                    Bb         F       C/E  Dm
     We still share the same dreams but not the same memories

C            Bb            F    C/E
      What a damn shame it is

Dm               C                  Bb                      F    C/E
I still wanna be really clear about what I'm really singing of

Dm              C             Bb                 F         F
    It might be tarnished, it might be murky and muddy,

Dm          C                  Bb       F   C
    but we always seem able to find ...

           F     C/E    Eb     F
all of the love

C                   G
Love love love love love

                             Dm         F
We can always still find the love

                                       C           G
I always thought there would always be love

                                           Dm
Cause love is one thing I knew I could share

   F                                 C
It had the power to make me actually care

         G                                    Dm
It's the one thing besides pain that makes me feel

     F                                           Am
Then someone asked how could I be sure that it's real

          F                                 C
I used to like to believe that our love was fate

              G                                           C
Until someone whispered to me you can't have love without hate

     G                              Bb
When certainty and trust turns into fear

       F                         Am
That's when I saw true love just disappear

          F                             C
How could happiness turns so quickly to despair

                            G
I didn't just forget how to love, it's just easier to not care
