[Verse 1]
I was tired [G]of being put right down
By [C]myself for not being what you
Thought you had found
[G]Pulled hard in two directions by a

[Verse 2]
[C]Desire to learn
And my old affections
When I [G]tried to share my world with you
You [C]could not seem to tolerate

[Verse 3]
The [G]people I had [D]grown to [G]love
[C]They shrank under your scrutiny,
Became the ones you'd hate
Why did [G]everything,
[C]every lit[G]tle thing

[Verse 4]
Every [G]little thing
With you and [C]me have to be
[G]so [C]political?[G][C][G][C]

Every little [C]phrase

Push me out [C]again

[C]To try and stand my ground
I [D]can still see myself crying in your lap
Asking [C]you are you happy with the man you have

[Verse 8]
[G]I'm grateful for what you did for me
I can [C]see things now I never
would have seen
[G]Today I thought about
what could have been
But could [C]never be for you
and [G]me
[D][G][C]

[Verse 9]
Because [G]everything, every little thing
[D]Every little thing
With [G]you and [C]me had to be so
[G]polit[D][G][C]
