Intro: Bbm

Verse 1:

Bbm                          C#
So Marigold, my love, you've had too much to drink,

    F#                         G#               F
And I need not remind you, our discount tickets for this sinking ship.

Bbm                                  C#
Take-backs and sweet regrets, that's all that we have left.

F#                          G#         F
  No one is looking out for anyone but number one.

Bbm                      C#
One to one, two to dance, we all get our sweet romance,

       F#                                  G#            F
Though sour grapes will turn to wine, its all just vinegar with time,

  Bbm              C#                   F#
And oh, you want to know, we all want to know,

        G#      F
How can anybody treat somebody so?


Chorus:

Fm                        *C# (Play once and let ring)          Fm
  She said, It hurts too much, I said, It will never hurt enough,

                          *C#                          G#
No one will ever see these cuts, no one will ever call this bluff, but that's just the way...

Bbm         G#              F#            C#
And when he left us he said, It's not so bad.

Bbm        G#              F#            C#
That motherfucker, he took everything we had,

Bbm          G#                 F#               C#
And when I'm thinking back, I'm counting all the ways,

Bbm    G#               F#               C#
Nobody helped us, so we dreamt of better days,

       G#
And we sang, That's just the way that...

Bbm                    F#                   C#                G#
We used to be in love (my love!), but now we're just in like,

       Bbm           F#            C#              G#
And we broke all our promises, and baby that ain't right

            Bbm        F#        C#      G#      Bbm    F#
Because you don't know what it's like to lose it all........

C#     G#      Bbm    F#
Noooooooooooo, Noooooooooooo

         C#            G#               Bbm
You were not on the receiving end of it all!

     F#
Noooooooooooo

         C#            G#               Bbm
You were not on the receiving end of it all!

            F#         C#             G#
You beg and plead, but no one here can save you -

Bbm            F#            C#          G#
Why would they try when they can't quite save themselves?


Break: Bbm


Verse 2:

Bbm                        C#
So Marigold, someday we'll have to write a script,

    F#                     G#               F                 Bbm
But I won't stop denying ashamed of all the selfish things we did.

                            C#
Dropped out of every single friendship that you had,

F#                               G#               F              Bbm
  They nearly loved you, but you never could have loved somebody back.

                C#               F#                  G#
Tell me of your sorrows, tell me everything from the start,

F                 Bbm
I'd like to do my part to help a friend in need -

C#
  I said you could come to me,

F#                                  G#              F
But when you needed someone most, I wasn't there, I wasn't even...


Chorus:

Fm                        *C#                                   Fm
  She said, It hurts too much, I said, It will never hurt enough,

                          *C#                          G#
No one will ever see these cuts, no one will ever call this bluff, but that's just the way...

Bbm         G#              F#            C#
