D                            D/F#
I made you laugh, I made you cry
                        G9
I made you open up your eyes
A4
Didn't I?
D                          D/F#
I helped you open out your wings,
                          G9
your legs, and many other things
A4
Didn't I?

Em                                 F#m
Am I the greatest bastard that you know?
                         G9
The only one who let you go?
                    A4
The one you hurt so much you cannot bear?
D                               D/F#
Well we were good, when we were good
                         G9        A4
When we were not misunderstood

D                                 D/F#
You helped me love, you helped me live
                              G9
You helped me learn how to forgive
A4
Didn't you?
D                           D/F#
I wish that I could say the same
                                G9
But when you left, you left the blame
A4
Didn't you?

Em                                 F#m
Am I the greatest bastard that you met?
                          G9
The only one you can't forget?
                  A4
Am I the one your truth's been waiting for?
D                          D/F#
Or am I just dreaming once again?
                                 G9        A4
Some dreams are better when they end

D             D/F#
Some make it, mistake it
G9             A4
Some force and some will fake it
Bm7     F#m              G9        A4
I never meant to let you down
D                D/F#
Some fret it, forget it
G9             A4
Some ruin and some regret it
Bm7     F#m              G9        A4
I never meant to let you down

D                            D/F#
We learn to wag and tuck our tails
                            G9
We learn to win and then to fail
A4
Didn't we?
D                            D/F#
We learn that lovers love to sing
                        G9
And that losers love to cling
A4
Didn't we?

Em                                 F#m
Am I the greatest bastard that you know?
                               G9
When will we learn to let this go?
                         A4
We fought so much, we've broken all the charm
D                         D/F#
But letting go is not the same
                        G9        A4
As pushing someone else away

Bm7             F#m
So please don't let on
G9        A4
You don't know me
Bm7           F#m
Please don't let on
G9      A4
I'm not here
Bm7          F#m
Please don't let on
G9        A4
You don't love me
Bm7              F#m
'Cause I know you do
G9        A4
I know

D                     D/F#
That some make it, mistake it
G              A4
Some force and some will fake it
Bm7     F#m              G9        A4
I never meant to let you down
D                D/F#
Some fret it, forget it
G9            A4
Some ruin and some regret it
Bm7      F#m              G9
I never meant to let you down
        A4
I never meant to let you
Em      F#m              G9
I never meant to let you down
        A4
I never meant
