G#m   F#    E    D#m

[Post-Chorus Intro]
G#m
   It was you, it was all for you
          F#                B
Everything I did, all that I went through
E
 It was you, it was all for you
D#m
   All because of you

[Verse 1]
G#m
   Got my nails done on the regular
F#
  Got my hair done, I didn't go out at night
E                                          D#m
 Everyday at the gym always trying to look good for him

Gotta keep that body tight
G#m
    Makin trips, buying gifts for no reason
F
 Everything I did, wanted to please him
E
 That's my baby, my lover, my friend
       D#m
Wasn't doing it for me, its all for him

[Pre-Chorus 1]
G#m
But what's the good of bending over backwards?
F#
  If you don't appreciate any of the effort
E                                        D#m
 I'm so tired of killing myself, for the things that I do
N.C.
They don't mean a thing to you

[Chorus 1]
G#m
   So I'm done, ya heard? that's right I'm through
F#                                       E
  See if you can find another someone who
                                             D#m
Has the patience to care, and will always be there
                            G#m
Everything I did because of you

[Post-Chorus 1]
                            F#
I gave all my time & almost lost my mind
                      E
It was all because of you
                            D#m
Put myself aside, swallowed all my pride
                      G#m
It was all because of you
                             F#
Went the extra mile, just to make you smile
                      E
It was all because of you
                          D#m
Now I just don't care, so I'm out of here
                      G#m
It was all becasue of you
           F
Because of you
          E
Oh, oh, whoa

Because of you

[Post-Chorus 2]

            F#            B
Everything I did, all that I went through
E
It was you it was all for you
D#m            G#m
All because of you

[Verse 2]
                                           F#
Wore my high heels, pants were fitting tight
                                    E
Kept my mouth shut, acting lady like
N.C.
Just to give you a trophy, a prize
       D#m                G#m
Didn't want no other girl, to catch your eyes
                                               F#
Gave you space if it's what you said you needed
                                              E
Took you back and forgave you when you cheated
                                               D#m
Nothing I wouldn't give, wouldn't do, wouldn't be
N.C.
Dontcha see I gave you the best of me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
G#m
Its time to go, this ain't no way of living
F#
  Cause with you its all taking and no giving
E
 What a fool, what a coward I was
        D#m                            G#m
Can't believe all the things we do for love

[Chorus 2]
                                                F#
So I'm done, ya heard? that's right I'm through
                                                E
You don't think I got the strength, but boy I do
                                                D#m
So good luck, and good bye, no you won't see me cry
                                   G#m
That's one thing I will not do for you
N.C.
Everything I did because of you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
                            F#
I gave all my time & almost lost my mind
                      E
It was all because of you
                            D#m
Put myself aside, swallowed all my pride
                      G#m
It was all because of you
                             F#

                      E

      D#m
All because of you

[Bridge]
G#m
   Everything was all for you
                  F#
Reached the limit now I'm through
G#              E
I was blind but now I see
        D#m
I gotta think about me
  G#m
See if you can find someone
                         F#
Who does for you all that I've done
G#m                E                    D#m
You don't know how lost you'll be, aaaa-aaah
N.C.

           G#m
Because of you
