_ _ [A] I'll take the [F#m]
responsibility [D] _ of this [G] breakup,
_ _ _ _ _ [Em]
cause I know I'm a lot responsible for it. _
_ _ _ But I didn't realize what was happening,
_ until it was much [G] too late.
_ _ I thought I was being a [G] good wife. _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ Since then, there has been times when I've hated myself
for not being a woman enough
_ to tell [G] you what was really on my mind.
[D] _ _
_ Now I realize that was a mistake.
_ _ _ A mistake I [G] would like to correct now. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] Oh, I'm through _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ trying to prove my love to [A] you.
I'm [D] through, _ _ _ baby, yeah. _ _ _

_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ Sometimes I have to give up the right _
when [G] I knew it was wrong. _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] But I believe I can _ stand up here today, baby,
and [G] face you _ _ _ on my very own.
_ _ _ _ Cause I [F#m] found someone, _ _ _
_ [Em] and I think he understands
[D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] that I know what it really means,
what it really means,
what it really means to [D] have a real man.
[Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] His daily _ _ _ [Em] deeds, _ _ _
the [D] things he doesn't say.
_ [A] He says, I'm not trying to take your husband's place,
but if I can't help you, I swear,
I swear I won't stand in [D] your way.
Tell [A] him, tell him that you're [G] through
_ _ [F#m] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [G] trying to prove [D] your love to him.
Go on, [Em] get _ a man [F#] that you're through [G] right now
[F#m] _ _
_ [Em] trying to prove your love to him.
[D] _ _ _ _
And I gotta [A] do it, baby, _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _
cause I'm through staying up all night _
_ [G] _ _ _ _
waiting on you to return. _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] Blessings that _ _ _ _ I _ learned,
[D] _ _ _ but you found _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _
on the wrong time to roll. _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ You see, I [D] let you take my _ heart.
[G] _ _ _ _
Man, I just can't let you take my soul.
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] It's always happening. _
_ [Em] _ There's so many love [D] affairs. _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ Oh yes, you're so in love today. _ _ _
Tomorrow, [D] tomorrow, you just don't care. _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ One gives time,
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ gives up on love and the other.
[D] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ Then the other one go running in the streets,
running in the streets,
trying, trying, trying to find it in another. _
Hey, _ _ oh, [A] baby, I'm [D] through _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] trying [G] to prove my love to you.
Baby, I'm through, _ yeah.
[D] _ _ _ And I don't feel bad about it. _ _ _
_ [G] In fact, I feel downright good about it
_ _ [D] cause I know I've done the very best I could in this marriage.
_ _ But I can't stand [G] being around anything or involved in anything
when my best isn't good enough.
_ [D]
But I know what the problem was. _ _
I gave you too much love.
I [G] smothered you with love. _
Therefore, [Em] I smothered the love. _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ So that's just as much or even more, my mistake as [G] yours.
_ _ I say yours cause you let me. _
_ [D] _ You loved me cause I was loving.
_ _ Yet turned away cause I had [G] too much love to give.
_ _ _ But that's beside the [F] point. _ _ _ _
_ You found [F] someone. _ _
_ And I [A#] think I'll be happy with the someone I found.
_ So that leaves nothing but the best for both of us.
[F] _ _
_ So let us not be upset about it.
Cause we [A#] had some good times together.
_ _ _ _ [Gm] We had some [A#] loving times together. _ _
_ Let's remember [Am] the good times.
