Verse 1

Am                                    F
You're everything I thought you never were
                                        C
Ain't nothing like a thought could have been
                          G
Still, you live inside of me

So tell me how is that
Am                                 F
You're the only one I wish I could forget

The only one I love to not forgive
                        G
And though you break my heart

Verse 3

You're the only one

And though there are times when I hate you
       F
'Cause I can't erase
    C
The times that you hurt me
    G
And put tears on my face
         Dm
And even now while I hate you
         F
It pains me to say
       Am
I know I'll be there
   G
At the end of the day

I don't wanna be without you babe

I don't want a broken heart

Don't wanna take a breath without you babe

Something that I feel I need to say
                                      C
But untill now I've always been afraid
                                G
That you would never come around

And still I wanna put this out

Verse 6

Am                                         F
You say you got the most respect for me but
                                          C
Sometimes I feel you're not deserved of me
                            G
And still you're in my heart

But you're the only one

And yes, there are times when I hate you

But I don't complain

'Cause I've been afraid that
          G
You would walk away

Oh but now I don't hate you

That I will be there
           G
At the end of the day
