            D 
I?ve been used 
 
         F         G      D 
But I?m takin? it like a man 
 
 
I?m confused 
 
         F         G           D 
But I?m doin? the best that I can 
 
            G            A         D 
I?ve been tossed around plenty before 
 
               G             A          Bm 
I?ve had this heart of mine broken and more 
 
          G     A          D 
I can?t find a reason for sure 
 
                 G       A   D       Dm 
But I?ve gotten used to bad news

               D 
Don?t tell me why 
 
      F          G       D

But please don?t lie 
 
         F                  G      D 
If you leave me, leave me like a friend 
 
            G             A         D 
I?ve been tossed around plenty of times 
 
           G           A        Bm 
And I?ve read between all the lines 
 
               G            A     D 
You?re just another in the grand design 
 
                 G       A   D 
And I?ve gotten used to bad news 
 
Abm     Db    Abm     Db

I know what you?re sayin? is bad 
 
 
     Abm                        Db         D 
It?s not what I wanted but I?m ready for that 
 
 
 
I?m ready for that, yea.
