verse 1 

Am             G 
I would react badly 
                          F       G 
To the slightest hint of hesitance 

Dm   C 

 Am              G 
He'd bend awkwardly to suit my mood 
              F        G 
No word from his defense 

Dm   C 

 Am              G 
I'd cry knowing how my tears 
                         F            G 
Felt like acid burning through his skin 

Dm   C 

        Am           G 
Pushed every little button 
          F                   G 
But the right one that would let me in 

Dm   C 

    Dm             C 
Now he's afraid of me 
    Dm             C 
Now he's afraid of me 


[Refrão]
 
    Em           G 
It took me by surprise 
    C            G 
The hatred in his eyes 
      C          D      Am              G 
I've pushed this man as far as he could go 
    C             F                G 
But he lacked the words to let me know 
     C         G                      D    B7 
He acted out, now I can see it is my fault 

verse 2 
Am       G 
I made changes 

That went unnoticed 
 F                  G 
Sang songs for deaf ears 

Dm   C 

Am              G 
He mistook my silence for punishment 
F               G 
As it had been all these years 

Dm   C 

    Am             G                       F           G 
I'd cry knowingly how my tears felt like acid burning through his skin 

Dm   C 

    Dm             C 
Now he's afraid of me 
    Dm             C 
Now he's afraid of me 


[Refrão]
 
    Em           G 
It took me by surprise 
    C            G 
The hatred in his eyes 
      C          D      Am              G 
I've pushed this man as far as he could go 
    C             F                G 
But he lacked the words to let me know 
     C         G                      D    B7   C 
He acted out, now I can see it is my fault
