Bm               A       G
    She puts her pen to paper.
Bm        A            G
    Lines across their hearts.
Bm             A       G
    You did it all to raise her.
Bm               A               G
    You left her standing in the dark.

Bm                  A            G
    This time she's praying for silence.
Bm               A             G
    Hoping that you would understand.
Bm             A              G
    She's just building these roadworks.
Bm           A                  G
    So it's clearer when they'll end.

          G     A        Bm
You can't still own what you let go.
     G         A     Em
What don't you understand?

      Bm                 G                       D       A
Tough luck I said I'd be here in a month but you waited too.
     Bm                             G                D       A
Only coming back 'round because you heard I was with someone new.
          Bm                G                D         A
And I was waiting here till you came back My heart was bleeding black.
       G         A              Bm             G          A   Bm
It's tough love that I'm giving you, yeah it's tough luck on you.

Bm            A              G
   He asked a question, she answers.
Bm           A                  G
   He made a crossword spelling guilt.
Bm        A                G
   Empty boxes filled with chances.
Bm                    A                 G
   But you just can't leave the rose to wilt.

          G     A        Bm
You can't still own what you let go.
     G         A     Em
What don't you understand?

      Bm                 G                       D       A
Tough luck I said I'd be here in a month but you waited too.
     Bm                             G                D       A

       G         A              Bm             G          A   Bm
It's tough love that I'm giving you, yeah it's tough luck on you.
