F
You walked over still hungover

C                      G
From the night before

F
Those idiot girls were looking over

  C                   G
I don't know what for
[Break] F Am x2 [Verse 2]
     F
That vintage Chanel dress that you wore

     C                              Gm
Just accentuated the fact that your heart was sore

       F
Like a dying rose, in the cold you froze

    C                         Gm
I'm holding the thorns on the floor
[Bridge]
    Dm                  Am
The night and day holds memories

           Gm                    C
But when I think of it now all I see

   Dm                         Am
Is you at the back and you're starting to cry

       Gm                      Bb
I wish I could have sung you a lullaby
[Chorus]
      F                   Dm
But I can't because I'm a mess, I'm too proud

    Bb               Gm
I'm stubborn and I'm selfish and you know that I'm loud

      F                                Dm
I'm a fool who thinks he's strong like Cassius Clay

  Bb                        Gm
I never ever listen to what anyone says
[Break] F Am x2 [Verse 3]
       F
If you see your mother, tell her I still love her

         C                     Gm             G
But that letter was wrong, ill informed and I warned you

       F
Please do not get the families involved

     C                   Gm
This world is me, around me I revolve
[Bridge]
    Dm                  Am
The night and day holds memories

           Gm                    C
But when I think of it now all I see

   Dm                         Am
Is you at the back and you're starting to cry

       Gm                      Bb
I wish I could have sung you a lullaby
[Chorus]

But I can't because I'm a mess, I'm too proud

    Bb               Gm
I'm stubborn and I'm selfish and you know that I'm loud

      F                                Dm
I'm a fool who thinks he's strong like Cassius Clay

  Bb                        Gm
I never ever listen to what anyone says
[Break] F Am x2 [Middle 8]
            Eb           Gm
I'm with my friends, I'm on my own

         Eb               Gm
I'm in a crowded bar, I'm on my own

         Eb                 Gm
I'm with everyone else, I'm on my own

     C                     Bbm
It's nobody's fault but my own
