  			         Em                         C 
When you called, it was loud, I got angry 

                     G     D 
I was everything but sober 

       Em                               C 
I said things that were ruthless, and I meant 'em 

                        G    D 
But you told me to come over 

                Am 
You say he's in town, and you're crying 

           G                          Bm7 
And you're throwing him one hell of a party 

          Am 
So I hang up and start shaking 

         G                       Bm7 
Thinking you never threw one for me 


              G                         Em 
I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth 

              C                            D 
Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage 

                  G                           Em 
You're not always fair to me, like I wish you would be 

                 C                          D 
He's the one who left home, I'm the one who stayed 


     Em                            C 
So I drove when I shouldnâ??t, but I make it 

              G     D 
I'm feeling alright 

         Em                        C 
You walk out, I'm a mess, you look perfect 

              G     D 
I figured you might 

             Am 
Next thing I know, I'm exploding 

    G                          Bm7 
And everything feels awful and wrong 

         Am 
And he's there right beside you 

        G                   Bm7 
But the music inside is our song 


              G                         Em 
I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth 

              C                            D 
Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage 

                  G                           Em 
You're not always fair to me, like I wish you would be 

                 C                          D 
He's the one who left home, I'm the one who stayed  


Repeat Chorus a few times 


              G                              Em 
I just get so angry when you say you love us both 

                C                              D    G 
I wanna be more like him, I wanna know there's hope
