I drowned in the pools of her eyes
Dsus2                                  D
That got deeper every time I made her cry.
C                       Em                       D
I never dreamed there?d be such deep wounds to mend
C                       Em                   D
I never dreamed I could be such a lousy boyfriend.

We?re prisoners in the webs that we weave
Dsus2                  D
When did I become so na?ve?
C                       Em                  D
I can?t believe I would be a man who would bend
C                  Em                 D
When did I become such a lousy boyfriend?

G                                    A
And the virtues that were strong within me
G                              A
Went up in smoke through the chimney
G                                  A            D
My smoldering soul is a vast empty hole that fills me.

D                               Dsus4
My duality is the vice I must defeat
Dsus2                               D
If I?m ever to escape the wretched heat
C                              Em                     D
My actions and judgments have left me a man who?s condemned.
C                          Em                  D
And with hindsight so clear, it?s hard to pretend
C                     Em                 D
The choices I?ve made are so hard to defend
C                Em                    D
I?ve simply become such a lousy boyfriend.
