Thank you.

[C#] Okay, so, thanks for [G] coming all the way out, wherever you came from.
Sorry this is going to be [D#] so short, but this is the way things are flowing today.
[F#m] But, so [G] this is the last one, [D] and
[G]
[E] [D]
[G] [G]
[E] [D] I made you laugh, I made you cry, I made you [G] open up your eyes, [A] didn't I?
[D] I helped you open up your wings, your legs, and many other [G] things, [A] didn't I?
[E] [E] Am I the greatest bastard [D] that you know?
The only one who let [G] you go?
The one [A] you hurt so much you cannot bear?
[D] We were good when we were good, when we were not [G] misunderstood.
[A]
[D] You helped me love, you helped me live, you helped me learn how to [G] forgive, [A] didn't you?
[E] I [D] wish that I could say the same, that when you left, you [Gm] left the blame, didn't you?
Am I the greatest bastard [D] that you met?
The only one you [Gm] can't forget?
Am I [A] the one your truth's been waiting for?
[D] Or am I just dreaming once [D] again?
Some dreams are better [G] when they end.
[A]
[D] And some make it, mistake it.
Some force [A] and some will [Em] fake it.
[Bm] But I never [F#m] meant to let you [G] down.
[A] [D]
Some fret it, forget [D] it.
Some ruin and some [Em] regret [Bm] it.
But I never [F#m] meant to let [D] you down.
[A]
[D] We learned to wag and tuck our tails.
We learned to win and then to fail.
Didn't [E] we?
[D] We learned that lovers love to sing, that losers love [G] to cling.
[Am] Didn't we?
[E] Am I the greatest bastard [D] that you know?
When will we learn to let this go?
We fought so [A] much we've broken all the charm.
[D] But letting go is not the [D] same as pushing someone [G] else away.
[A]
[A] [B] So please [A] don't let on [F#m] that you [G] don't know me.
[B] Please don't let [F#m] on that I'm not here.
[B] Please don't let [F#m] on that you [G] don't love [Em] me.
Cause I know you do.
