              Intro 2x: C  Em 
 
  C 
I told you how you're hurt me, baby 
              Em 
But you don't care 
         C 
Now I'm crying and deserted, baby 
              Em 
But you don't care 
                       C 
Ain't nobody tell me this is love 
                            Em 
But you're immune to all my pain 
              C 
I need you to tell me this is love 
                            Em 
You don't care but that's okay 
 
         G 
Well, I care

C 
Ever since you knew your power 
            Em 
You made me cry 
        C 
And now every time our love goes sour 
               Em 
You won't sympathize 
         C 
You see these tears falling down to my ears 
                             Em 
I swear you like when I'm in pain 
 
         C 
I try to tell you all my fears 
 
You still don't care 
         Em 
That's okay

La la la la la la 
 
A                         C 
 Boy, maybe if you care enough 
                            D 
I wouldn't have to care so much 
                       F 
What happened to our trust? 
                    E 
Now you just given up 
                      A 
You used to be so in love 
                       F   G 
Now you don't care no more
