^DI made you laugh, I made you ^Dsus2cry I made you open up your ^Geyes ^ADidn't I? ^DI helped you open out your ^Dsus2wings, your legs, and many other ^Gthings ^ADidn't I?

^EmAm I the greatest bastard that you ^F#mknow? The only one who let you ^Ggo? The one you hurt so ^Amuch you cannot bear? ^DWell we were good, when we were ^Dsus2good When we were not misunder^Gstood ^A

^DYou helped me love, you helped me ^Dsus2live You helped me learn how to for^Ggive ^ADidn't you? ^DI wish that I could say the ^Dsus2same But when you left, you left the ^Gblame ^ADidn't you?

^EmAm I the greatest bastard that you ^F#mmet? The only one you can't for^Gget? Am I the one your ^Atruth's been waiting for? ^DOr am I just dreaming once ^Dsus2again? Some dreams are better when they ^Gend ^A
