[Verse 1]
D D/F#
I made you laugh, I made you cry
G9
I made you open up your eyes
Asus4
Didn't I?
D D/F#
I helped you open out your wings,
G9
your legs, and many other things
Asus4
Didn't I?
[Pre-Chorus]
Em F#m
Am I the greatest bastard that you know?
G9
The only one who let you go?
Asus4
The one you hurt so much you cannot bear?
D D/F#
Well we were good, when we were good
G9 Asus4
When we were not misunderstood
[Verse 2]
D D/F#
You helped me love, you helped me live
G9
You helped me learn how to forgive
Asus4
Didn't you?
D D/F#
I wish that I could say the same
G9
But when you left, you left the blame
Asus4
Didn't you?
[Pre-Chorus]
Em F#m
Am I the greatest bastard that you met?
G9
The only one you can't forget?
Asus4
Am I the one your truth's been waiting for?
D D/F#
Or am I just dreaming once again?
G9 Asus4
Some dreams are better when they end
[Chorus]
D D/F#
Some make it, mistake it
G9 Asus4
Some force and some will fake it
Bm7 F#m G9 Asus4
I never meant to let you down
D D/F#
Some fret it, forget it
G9 Asus4
Some ruin and some regret it
Bm7 F#m G9 Asus4
I never meant to let you down
[Verse 3]
D D/F#
We learn to wag and tuck our tails
G9
We learn to win and then to fail
Asus4
Didn't we?
D D/F#
We learn that lovers love to sing
G9
And that losers love to cling
Asus4
Didn't we?
[Pre-Chorus]
Em F#m
Am I the greatest bastard that you know?
G9
When will we learn to let this go?
Asus4
We fought so much, we've broken all the charm
D D/F#
But letting go is not the same
G9 Asus4
As pushing someone else away
[Bridge]
Bm7 F#m
So please don't let on
G9 Asus4
You don't know me
Bm7 F#m
Please don't let on
G9 Asus4
I'm not here
Bm7 F#m
Please don't let on
G9 Asus4
You don't love me
Bm7 F#m
'Cause I know you do
G9 Asus4
I know
[Chorus]
D D/F#
That some make it, mistake it
G Asus4
Some force and some will fake it
Bm7 F#m G9 Asus4
I never meant to let you down
D D/F#
Some fret it, forget it
G9 Asus4
Some ruin and some regret it
Bm7 F#m G9
I never meant to let you down
Asus4
I never meant to let you
Em F#m G9
I never meant to let you down
Asus4
I never meant
D D/F# G A
Bm7 F#m G A
