Intro

Dsus2 A E F#m C#m D E A
Dsus2 A E F#m C#m D E A

Verse 1

Dsus2          A        E         F#m
     I cut the rope and threw her out
C#m           D             E       A
   Out on the street like a garbage sack
Dsus2          A         E          F#m
     And every day she's calling me up
C#m            D         E          A
   I don't see why she'd wanna come back

Pre-Chorus 1

E                      F#m
  Knocking on her best friend's door
    E          A
"Is it okay if I crash here?"

Chorus 1

D           A     Bm       A
  She never had a fighting chance
D         A         Bm     A
Guess the hearts of former holds
       D          A               Bm       A
'Cause she didn't know what she'd gotten into
E                    E
She belongs with the gentle souls

Verse 2

Dsus2            A     E           F#m
     There was a time    I can't recall
C#m         D           E       A
   When I believed everything I said
Dsus2           A                 E         F#m
     And I kept playing before it all built up
C#m           D         E       A
    The petty lies that she was fed

Pre-Chorus 2

E               F#m
  Looking for a stranger, still
  E                A
I don't know who I should marry

Chorus 2

D           A     Bm       A
  She never had a fighting chance
D         A         Bm     A
Guess the hearts of former holds
       D          A               Bm       A
'Cause she didn't know what she'd gotten into
E                    F#m              E  A
She belongs with the gentle souls

Verse 3

Dsus2          A        E         F#m
     I cut the rope and threw her out
C#m                D       E        A
   And changed the lock on my front door
Dsus2              A          E          F#m
     She tried her key and it didn't work
C#m             D         E        A
   I don't know why she's back for more

Pre-Chorus 3

E                      F#m
  Knocking on her best friend's door
    E          A
"Is it okay if I crash here?"

Chorus 3

D           A     Bm       A
  She never had a fighting chance
D         A         Bm     A
Guess the hearts of former holds
       D          A               Bm       A
'Cause she didn't know what she'd gotten into
    E                    E
Now she belongs with the gentle souls
    D  A    Bm             A             D A Bm A
Now she   belongs with the gentle souls
D           A     Bm       A        D A Bm A
  She never had a fighting chance
