N.C.   C           F 
I am a giver not a taker 
        G                  C        ~         Am 
Used to break all the heartbreakers just like you 
               G 
Baby, you know me 


    C                F        G 
But you just keep on taking 
            C        ~       Am 
You keep on breaking my poor heart 
        G 
And you do

I was a lover not a fighter 
       G             C          ~        Am 
'Til I waited up all night here just for you 
               G 
Baby, you know who

Now you expect some loving 
    G                 C       ~       Am 
But you ain't getting nothing but the cold 
     G 
Hard truth
