D Em7‘T DilGl CI take it out on you
Bm7Show me hBmow to Ckeep you in
Chorus:
GYou be good to me
And I, DI’ll bCe good to you
Don’t let go of youDr light
It’s youBmr best friend in the world
I Chope you’ll learn whaA7t Heaven knows
Who Ccares if I go?

GSo we cursed a lot
And I’mD ashamed oCf walking out
Oh it’s just toDo bad, we goBmt stuck in the past

And I, DI’ll bCe good to you
I’m off tDo work
BmBut I don’t see yoCu turn
