More chords by Elizabeth Nichols


[Intro]
G Am C

[Verse 1]
G Am
Swore you just kissed her, but your belt’s unbuckled
C
Punching your walls, scars on your knuckles
G Am
Only call me pretty when you get too drunk
C
There’s a fine line between loyal and dumb

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
But my heart can take a beatin'
D
I’ve always been this way
Am
I don’t love 'em and then leave 'em
D
I hate them and stay

[Chorus]
G Am
I was a little girl begging Daddy to love her
C
Turned me to a deer chasing the hunter
G Am
Taught me that you gotta work hard for love
C
Beg and barter, starve for love
G Am
Grew up but I can’t unlearn it
C
Love ain’t real if it ain’t hurtin'
G Am C
It ain’t my fault the hands I hold are rough
Am D G
'Cause I’ve only ever known love to be tough

[Verse 2]
Am
Never caught Mama and Daddy kissing
C
They were downstairs yelling, I was upstairs listenin’
G Am
Little brother always pulling my hair
C Am
No wonder fighting feels like proof you care

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Believe me
D
They didn’t know what they were starting
Am
I don’t bite the hand that feeds me
D
I kiss the hand that starves me

[Chorus]
G Am
I was a little girl begging Daddy to love her
