[Am9]There ain't no use in me [Em7]trying to tell you how I feel
[Gm7]'Cause what I feel [Bb]ain't what you're feeling
[F]I don't know [Gm7]what we did wrong
[Bb]I just know [Dm7]if you come home
[Gm7]I ain't gonna let [Bb]you break my heart again
[F]There ain't no use in me [Am9]trying to find out where you've been
[Em7]Where you've been [Gm7]ain't, where I'm going
[Bb]'Cause if I ask [F13]you where you've been
[Gm7]The hurting starts [Bb]and it don't end
[G]So I ain't gonna let [Dm7]you break my heart again, no
[Gm7]I ain't gonna let you [Bb]break my heart again, no, oh
[F]Tears don't [Gm7]become me
[Dm9]Pain ain't [Gm7]my friend
[Bb]It seems like you [F]enjoyed my crying, baby
[Dbmaj7]You always said [Gb]that I was strong
[Dbmaj7]But I believe [Gb]that you were wrong
[Amaj7]Lately, God knows, [Gbminadd13]I have been trying
[Dbmaj7]There ain't no use in you [Gb]trying to kiss away the hurt, baby
[Dbmaj7]'Cause it hurts where it's deep [Gb]down inside of me and it's hiding
[Dbmaj7]If you decide you're coming home, you [Bbm7]walk in, it won't be like before
[Amaj7]'Cause I ain't gonna let [Gbminadd13]you break my heart again, no
[Fmaj7]Ain't gonna let you break [Am9]my heart again, no, no
