Intro: A 

       A                 E 
I was never any good at loving you 
                                  A 
I was never any good at coming through for you 
        D 
You're going to feel much better 
       Dm 
When you cut me loose forever 
       A 
I was never any good 
       F# 
I was never any good 
 B                 E 
Never any good at loving you 

I was dying when we met, I bet my life on you 
But you called me and I folded like you knew I'd do 
You called my ace, my king, my bluff 
Okay, you win, enough's enough 
I was never any good 
Never any good 
I was never any good at loving you 
        C# 
I was pretty good at taking out the garbage 
  F#m 
Pretty good at holding up the wall 
  C# 
Dealing with the fire and the earthquake 
     D                  D#dim 
But that don't count, that don't count 
 A               F# 
That don't count, that don't count 
 B                                   E 
That don't count for nothing much at all 
I was never any good at loving you 
I was just some kind of tourist in your bed looking at the view 
But I can't forget where my lips have been 
Those holy hills, that deep ravine 
I was never any good 
I was never any good 
Never any good at loving you 
I was pretty good at taking out the garbage 
I was pretty good at holding up the wall 
I'm sorry for my crimes against the moonlight 
I didn't think, I didn't think 
I didn't think, I didn't think 
I just didn't think the moon would mind at all 
I was never any good at loving you 
At doing what a woman really wants a man to do 
You're going to feel much better 
When you cut me loose forever 
I was never any good 
Never any good 
I was never any good at loving you
