Em | (riff) | Cadd9

[Verse 1]
            Em
It was a weight on my shoulders
A strain on my back
                                            Cadd9
But I loved to have you, right there by my side
N.C.
(You couldn't take it)

(You couldn't take it)
           Em
It used to be, when we were alone

We shared such beautiful moments
                                  Cadd9
(But lately it's been such a mess)
N.C.
(You couldn't take it)
(You couldn't take it)

[Chorus]
Cadd9
 Go on and say it
                                      G
Was my love too much for you to take?
D/F#       Em7
 I guess you never knew what was good for you
Cadd9
 Don't keep me waiting
                                            G
Say the words that you're too scared to say
D/F#       Em7
 I guess you never knew what was good for you
Cadd9
 I need to hear you say it
                                      G
Was my love too much for you to take?
D/F#       Em7
 I guess you never knew what was good for you
Cadd9
 Don't keep me waiting

Say the words that you're too scared to say
D
 I guess you never knew what was good for you

[Verse 2]
    Em
I came home to see you, you weren't around
                                       Cadd9
Excuses were one right after the other
N.C.
(You couldn't take it)
(You couldn't take it)
Em
 You woke up from another dream, another fight you didn't mean
Still, time after time
                          Cadd9
I came running to get you
N.C.
(You couldn't take it)
(You couldn't take it)

[Chorus]
Cadd9
 Go on and say it
                                      G
Was my love too much for you to take?
D/F#       Em7
 I guess you never knew what was good for you
Cadd9
 Don't keep me waiting
                                            G
Say the words that you're too scared to say
D/F#       Em7
 I guess you never knew what was good for you
Cadd9
 I need to hear you say it
                                      G
Was my love too much for you to take?
D/F#       Em7
 I guess you never knew what was good for you
Cadd9
 Don't keep me waiting
Say the words that you're too scared to say
D
 I guess you never knew what was good for you

[Bridge]
G*
 (You couldn't take it)
Cdim
 Another heart, another day

So much time just thrown away
G*
 (You couldn't take it)
           Cdim
You know I love to be in love
G*
 (You couldn't take it)
             Cdim
 So tired of trying to show you

I worked so hard

[Chorus]
N.C.
Go on and say it
N.C.
Was my love too much for you to take?
N.C.
I guess you never knew what was good for you
N.C.
Oh don't keep me waiting
N.C.
Say the words that you're too scared to say
N.C.
I guess you never knew what was good for you
N.C.
I need to hear you say it
N.C.
Was my love too much for you to take? (Oh baby)
N.C.
I guess you never knew what was good for you
N.C.
Don't keep me waiting
N.C.
Say the words that you're too scared to say
N.C.
I guess you never knew what was good for you
