where all the things I thought I know, they’re not quite what they seem
               Em                                                 D/F#

you can beg once again, say you just want to be friends,
you can rage, you can cuss, throw a tantrum, make a fuss,
you can cry, you can swear, go ahead, I don’t care, cause you made
