[Verse 1]
So [Am]Marigold,
my love, you've [C]had too much to drink,
An[F]d I need not remind you,
our [G]discount tickets [E]for this sinking ship.
[Am]Take-backs and and sweet regrets,
that's [C]all that we have left.
[F]No one is looking out for
[G]anyone but [E]number one.
[Am]One to one, two to dance,
[C]we all get our sweet romance,
[F]Though sour grapes will turn to wine,
it's [G]all just vineg[Em]ar with t[E]ime,
And [Am]oh, I want to [C]know,
we all want to [F]know,
How can [G]anybody [Em]treat somebody so?

[Verse 2]
She said, “It hurts too [C]much,” I said,
“It will never [Em]hurt enough,”
No one will ever see [C]these cuts,
no one will ever call [G]this bluff,
But that's just the way [Am]that it goes,
And when [G]he left us he [F]said,
"It's not [C]so [Am]bad.”
That mother[G]fucker,
[F]he took everything [C]we had,
And [Am]when I'm [G]thinking back,
I'm [F]counting all the [C]ways,
[Am]Nobody helpe[G]d us,
so we [F]dreamt of better [C]days,
And [G]we sang,
"That's just the way that it goes,"
Yeah, we [Am]used to be [F]in love (my love!),
but [C]now we're just in [G]like,
And [Am]we broke a[F]ll our promises,
and [C]baby that ain't [G]right
Because you don't [Am]know what it's like
to lose it all…
(Take it back, take [F]it back,
because you don't know!
[C]Take it back, take it bac[G]k,
because you don't know
[Am]what it's [F]like to [C]be on the re
[G]ceiving end of [Am]it all!)
[F]No! No! You were [C]not on the
receiv[G]ing end of [Am]it all!
[F]No! No! You were [C]not on the
[G]receiving end of [Am]it all!
[F]No! No! You were [C]not on the
receiv[G]ing end of [Am]it all!
[F]No! No! You were [C]not on [G]the
receiving end of it all!
[Am]You beg and plea[F]d,
[C]but no one here [G]can save [Am]you -
Why would [F]they try when they [C]can't
quite [G]save [Am]themselves?

[Verse 3]
[Am]So Marigold,
someday we'll [C]have to write a script,
But [F]I won't stop denying a[G]shamed
of all the [E]selfish things we did.
[Am]Dropped out of every single
[C]friendship that [Am]you had,
[F]They nearly loved you,
but you [G]never could have [E]loved somebody [Am]back.
Tell me [G]of your [C]sorrows,
[F]tell me everything from [G]the start,
I'd [E]like to do my [Am]part to
help a friend [C]in need -
I said you could come to me,
But [F]when you needed someone most,
I [G]wasn't there, I wasn't even...

[Verse 4]
[Em]She said, “It hurts too much[C],” I said,
“It will never [Em]hurt enough,”
No one will ever see [C]these cuts,
no one will ever call [G]this bluff,
But that's just the way [Am]that it goes,
And when [G]he left us he [F]said,
"It's not [C]so [Am]bad.”
That mother[G]fucker,

And [Am]when [G]I'm thinking back,
I'm [F]counting all the [C]ways,
[Am]Nobody helpe[G]d us,

but [C]now we're just in [G]like,
And [Am]we broke a[F]ll our promises,
and [C]baby that ain't [G]right
Because you don't know [Am]what it's
like to lose it all…
(Take it back, take it [F]back,
because you don't know!
[C]Take it back, take it bac[G]k,
because you don't know
[Am]what it's [F]like to [C]be on the receiving
[G]end [Am]of i[F]t all!)
No! No! You were [C]not on the
receiving end of [Am]it all!
[F]No! No! You were [C]not on the
receiv[G]ing end of [Am]it all!
[F]No! No! You were [C]not on [G]the
receiving end of [Am]it all!
[F]No! No! You were [C]not on [G]the

[Verse 5]
[Am]Used to be in [F]love,
[Am]but now we're just in like,
And we broke all our prom[F]ises,
and [Am]baby that ain't right
Because you don't know what it's like
