I know I said I loved you but I'm thinking I was wrong,
G                           Em
I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young,
                                                                   
      Am                             D                  G
and I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs.
G                                                                 Em
but a guy that I could never get 'cause his girlfriend was pretty fit
D                                   Em                      
and everyone who knew her loved her so.
Am                                  D                    
and I made you leave her for me and now I'm feeling pretty mean,
                   
       G                             Em                           Am     D  
but my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know.
Em                      Am
Maybe I should give up, give in,

give up trying to be thin,
Em                       Am
give up and turn into my mother,
D           G
god knows I love her.

                                                     
        G              Em              Am            D

G                          Em            D
watch my steady lonesome gait and beware.
        G                                Em
I would never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand
            Am          D
and I can't do it again.

G                                 Em                   
So we stayed up late one night to try and get our problems right,
G                                     Em

and I think he knew where I was going 'cause he put Ryan Adams on I think 
                                  Em
he thinks it makes me weak but it only ever makes me strong.
                                              
                                     D

    G                                  D

I would never love a man cause I could never hurt a man,

not in this new romantic way.
