G                         D        G                                D
The lamp is broken on the mantle - My mind is blown and I'm turnin' away
G                            D        G                            D          
It's getting more than I can handle - It's getting more than I can say
C          D              G 
I couldn't stay here if I wanted 
C          D              Em 
I couldn't stay here if I tried 
C        D            G       G/F#  Em 
You were always disappointed (in    me) 
C             D                G     G/F#  Em 
Guess I could never do nothing right 
C             D                G       
Guess I could never do nothing right

And I work hard to make a living - To make the good-life dream come true 
G                              D        G                              D
But you wanted more than I was giving - I guess that's more than I can do 
C          D              G 
I couldn't stay here if I wanted

Guess I could never do nothing right

G                                      D 
You cut my heart like the cards on the table
G                                       D
Seemed like fun for you to keep playin' on 
G                                    D 
Well, I let you win as long as I was able 
G                                 D 
Now all your games have done been run
