So, uh, there's a new record which is almost finished.
It was about [Em] time, yes, that's very true.
[N]
Everything at the right time.
And, uh, this is one of the songs.
[D]
[G]
[E]
[D]
[G]
[E]
[D] You made her laugh and made her [D]
cry,
Made her open up [G] your eyes,
[E] didn't I?
I helped you open out [D] your wings,
Your legs and many other [G] things,
[A] didn't I?
Am [E]
I the greatest bastard that you [D] know?
The only one who let you [G] go?
The one you hurt [A] so much you cannot bear?
[D]
We were good when we were good,
We were not misunderstood.
[G] [A]
[E] [D] You had me love, you helped [F#] me live,
You had me learn how [G] to forgive, [E] didn't you?
[D] I wish that I could say the [F#] same,
When you left, you [G] left a blade,
[A] Didn't you?
[E]
[Em] Am I the greatest bastard that you met?
[D] The only one you can [G] forgive?
Am I the one your [A] truth's been waiting for?
[D] Or am I just dreaming once again?
Some dreams [F#] are better [G] than they end.
[A]
Some make [D]
it,
Mistake [G] it,
Some force [E] it,
Some will fake [Bm]
it.
I [F#m] never meant to let you [G] down.
[A]
[G] [D] Some fret it,
Forget [G] it,
Some [E] ruin it,
Some regret
[Bm] it.
I never [F#m] meant to let you [G] down.
[A]
[E] We learned to wag and tuck [D] our tails,
We learned to win and [G] then to fail, [A] didn't we?
[D] We learned that lovers love to sing,
And that losers [G] love to cling, [A] didn't we?
[Em] Am I the greatest bastard [E] that you met?
When we learned to let [G] this go?
We fought so [A] much, we've broken all the charm,
[D] But letting go is not the same as pushing someone else [G] away.
[A] [Em]
[B] So please [A] don't let [F#m] off,
[Em] You don't know me.
[B] Please [A] don't let [F#m] off,
I'm [G] not here.
[B]
Please [A] don't let [F#m] off,
You [G] don't [Em] love me,
Cause I know [D] you do.
