Standard (♪ Capo 6)

 
Bm 
You with your  
Asus 
words like knives and  
G 
swords and weapons that you use against me
 
Bm 
You, have  
Asus 
knocked me off my  
G 
feet again. Got me feelin’ like  
A 
nothing
 
Bm 
You, with your  
Asus 
voice like nails on  
A 
 
G 
chalk board callin’ me out when I’m wounded
 
Bm 
You, 
 
 
Asus 
pickin’ on the weaker  
G 
man
 
Asus 
Well you can take me  
D 
down with just one  
G 
single 
 
 
Asus 
blow
 
but  
G 
you don’t know, what you don’t know

Someday 
 
 
A 
I’ll be

Bm 
You, with your  
Asus 
swithching sides and your  
G 
wild fire lies and your humiliation
 
Bm 
You, have  
Asus 
pointed out my  
G 
flaws again. As if I  
G 
don’t already see them
 
Bm 
I walk with  
Asus 
my head down. Trying to  
G 
block you out ‘Cause I never impress you
 
Bm 
I just  
Asus 
wanna feel  
G 
okay 
 
again
 
Asus 
I bet you got pushed around.  
D 
Somebody…. 
 
 
G 
made you….  
Asus 
cold
 
But the cycle ends right now ’cause  
G 
you can’t lead me down that road
 
and  
G 
you don’t know what  
G 
you don’t know

Someday

And I can  
Asus 
see you years from now in  
A

Talking over  
A 
 
G 
football 
 
game
 
With  
Asus 
that same big loud opinion, but  
D 
nobody’s is  
G 
listening
 
Asus 
Washed up and ranting about the  
Bm 
same old  
Asus 
bitter 
 
 
G 
things

runk and grumbling on about how
