Telling Myself Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Started out, started out so simple
We were [G]running 'round,
running 'round like children
How did [F]we allow, we allow this story
to [C]fall so [E]south?

[Verse 2]
[Am]What were we, what were we both thinkin'?
We were [G]so naive, so naive believin'
We were [F]still happy, still happy
How could I ig[C]nore my [E]doubts?

[Pre-chorus 1]
I keep on tellin' myself [Am]we had somethin' good
Did we stay together [F]longer than we should?
Were we just playing pre[G]tend
because we could?
Was it really that [D]good?
I keep on tellin' myself [Am]it's not what it was
Did we just want to be[F]lieve that this was love?
Was it really worth the [G]trouble that it caused?
Look where we ended [D]up

[Chorus 1]
I keep on tellin' my[Am]self
I keep on tellin' my[F]self
I keep on tellin' my[G]self
I keep on tellin' my[D]self

[Verse 3]
Oh, [Am]don't pretend, don't pretend
you're all of a sudden [G]innocent, innocent
My darlin', how could [F]you forget, you forget
the first half of the [C]story [E]now?

[Pre-chorus 2]
I keep on tellin' myself [Am]we had somethin' good
Did we stay together [F]longer than we should?
Were we just playing pre[G]tend
because we could?
Was it really that [D]good?
I keep on tellin'...

[Bridge 1]
And [F]now that you're gone
I [C]see it all clear[E]ly
And [F]don't get me wrong
I [C]wouldn't change a [E]thing
I keep on tellin' my

[Pre-chorus 3]
I keep on tellin' myself [Am]we had somethin' good
Did we stay together [F]longer than we should?
Were we just playing pre[G]tend
because we could?
Was it really that [D]good?
I keep on tellin' myself [Am]it's not what it was
Did we just want to be[F]lieve that this was love?
Was it really worth the [G]trouble that it caused?
Look where we ended [D]up

[Chorus 2]
I keep on tellin' my[Am]self
I keep on tellin' my[F]self
I keep on tellin' my[G]self
I keep on tellin' my[D]self
