VERSE 1
 G               Em
 I wish I could hate you
          Dm                 C  
 But your hurt started long ago
      G                 Em
 I’m sure that I could blame you, but
         Dm           C
 There’s too much I know

VERSE 2
      G           Em
 It's not my job anymore
     Dm                   C  
 To tell your story in defense
     G                    Em
 In fact, I’ve learned it never was
       Dm              C          G
 But I can't unsee how it makes sense

CHORUS
      D        A#   C7
 Cuz you were starving
      D        A#   C7
 The hunger drove you to this
      D        A#   C7
 And I couldn't feed you
      D        A#   A#     
 So I tried to give a kiss
       Gm      Dm
 It started gentle, but
      A#      Dm   C      
 Was never enough
      Gm      Dm
 I leaned my head back
               A#             Dm   C
 Thought I was fine with it rough 
  D       A#    C7
 We had a good one 
  D           A#          C7
 We both got lost in the scent
  D       A#    C7
 I was so happy
  D        A#              A#
 Till I forgot what that meant
     Gm      Dm
 Yes, I remember, I gave
     A#      Dm   C    
 my total consent
  Gm                  Dm
 I’m not looking for vengeance
           Dm         C
This is a lover's lament

VERSE 3
 G               Em
 I wish I could hate you
      Dm           C 
 To make all this easy 
 G               Em
 I wish I could love you
      Dm             C
 The way it used to be

VERSE 4
 G                   Em
 I wish things were different
        Dm                C  
 But I don't wish not to see
       G               Em
 That while you were hurting
           Dm           C   G
 You were still hurting me

CHORUS
      D        A#   C7
 Cuz you were starving
      D        A#   C7
 The hunger drove you to this
      D        A#   C7
 And I couldn't feed you
      D        A#   A#     
 So I tried to give a kiss
       Gm      Dm
 It started gentle, but
      A#      Dm   C      
 Was never enough
      Gm      Dm
 I leaned my head back
               A#             Dm   C
 Thought I was fine with it rough 
  D       A#    C7
 We had a good one 
  D           A#          C7
 We both got lost in the scent
  D       A#    C7
 I was so happy
  D        A#              A#
 Till I forgot what that meant
     Gm      Dm
 Yes, I remember, I gave
     A#      Dm   C    
 my total consent
  Gm                  Dm
 I’m not looking for vengeance
           Dm         C
This is a lover's lament

OUTRO
  G              Em
 I'll keep the memories
      Dm               C 
 But I'll remember it all
  G                   Em
 I'm not scared and running
       Dm                C     ( C )  
 I can finally learn to fall
