[Verse 1]
Am G
I'm sure it was nothing
C G
But you never used to bring somebody else along
Am G
Used to be our thing
C G
Going to a movie, then we wander home
Am G
All these little landmines
C G
All these little things that one can read two ways
Am G
Like when you take every call outside
Am G
Seems that I've forgotten how to read your face
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm Am D
But I know you too well to get it wrong
[Chorus]
Am C G
If you have to hurt me, hurt me once
Am C G
If you have to end it, get it done
C D Em
You have all these choices, I have none
C G D C
You're all that I have to lose
C G D C
Couldn't hurt you if I wanted to
D Am G
I've decided on you
[Interlude]
C G
[Verse 2]
Am G
If you keep it going
C G
Then one by one, the memories will start to blur
Am G
You'll ruin the good ones
C G
But I guess my photo album's none of your concern
Am G
Don't humor me with kindness
C G
There's nothing kind about a hundred small betrayals
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm Am D
If you love me at all, you'll kill it now
[Chorus]
Am C G
If you have to hurt me, hurt me once
Am C G
If you have to end it, get it done
C D Em
You have all these choices, I have none
C G D C
You're all that I have to lose
C G D C
Couldn't hurt you if I wanted to
D Am C G
I decided on you, I've decided on you
[Outro]
Am
And if I'm disappointed
C G
It's 'cause you're not the person I knew
C D Em
If I had it my way, I'd be kinder than you
Am Em D C
I'm sure I'll forgive you, and soon
Am Em D C
I'm ashamed but I'm proud of it, too
D G
I decided on you
