A D G A    D G A


[Verse 1]
A              D
I met you at a party
         G          A
You were sneaking behind the bar
                D
Ever since I've known you then
            G                 A
You've been covering up those scars


[Chorus]
           D
I tried to understand
G A        D
I tried to understand
G A        D
I tried to understand
G A        D    G
I tried to understand


[Verse 2]
A             D
Always making fun of the ones
     G          A
Hell-bent on buying their fate
                D
Humiliate their fantasies
               G              A
'Cause it's an easier love to hate
                       D
And I know that you're softer
            G                A
Than you're always making it seem
                  D
But you only like pleasure and pain
    G                 A
And nothing elsе in between


[Chorus]
  Em       D
I tried to understand
  A        D
I triеd to understand
  A        D
I tried to understand
  A        D
I tried to understand
  A        D
I tried to understand
  A        D    G
I tried to understand


[Verse 3]
       A                        D
So you burned it down with your cold heart out
         G                     A
And your brain sitting down on ice
                            D
You're dancing around in an empty club
     G             D           A
With tears falling out of your eyes
                           D
You're spinning out like a penny on the ground
    G           D         A
And around and around you go
     G          D         A
And around and around you go
     G                    A
And around and around you go


[Bridge]
       G                      A
So you burn it down with your cold heart out
           G                    A
And you're dancing around in an empty club
       D
So you burn it down
    G
You burn it down
G
You burn it down
            A
You burn it down


[Out-Chorus]
  Em       D
I tried to understand
  A        D
I tried to understand
  A        D
I tried to understand
  A        D
I tried to understand
  A        D
I tried to understand
  A        D
I tried to understand
  A        D
I tried to understand
  A        D
I tried to understand
  A        D
I tried to understand
  A        D
I tried to understand
 A        D          A D
(Tried to understand)
 A        D          A G
(Tried to understand)
