Am


1st Verse:

Am
My own apologist
  G            Em
Excuses with a twist
F              G
Too much to protect 

So much that
Em           G7
I can't even list
F             G F
Too much of a bias for
E
Self-analysis
  Am              D       D7       G               G7               
A loud defence of silence from the moment we first kissed



2nd Verse:
    Am     
No, I'm hard on myself
   G                Em
So hard it can't be true
     F               G
That I would leave myself in darkness
Em             G7
Left without a clue
  F                      G      F
I know what goes through my own mind
  E
I know it through and through
  Am                   D   D7
I know the facts don't fit and
G              G7
She should not have




Chorus:
C         
She should not have quit
  Em
I wish she hadn't quit
Am
I'll just hold my tongue and act like
G
I don't care a bit
F                       G    F 
The issues weren't that big, no
E
Not from where I sit
Am                D          D7
I should not have forced her hand and
G          G7
She should not have
C
She should not have quit
Em


3rd Verse:

Am
We both feel relief
G                 G7
We're both moving on
F            G    F
Now I barely miss her
   E
Or notice that she's gone 
  Am                D
I can't believe she quit 
D7  G          G7
No, she should not have


Chorus, chorus again up to "I'll just hold my tongue", then sudden ending.
