Understand You
  Capo on 4
  Em          G
  I stood on the boat amazed by you
  Am    D
  Sitting with my sister as we talked about you
  Em    G
  Couldn’t make my mind up, yes or no
  Am      D
  When I look back now I wish I had known.
  Em             G
  I wish I had known what would happen,
  Am   D
  I wish I would know how it would end
  Em   G
  Even after all this time I’m still shocked
  Am   D
  I can’t see how you could just pretend
  C
  You told me everything,
  D
  And you told me why
  Em
  You told me the next day
  G    D
  That in front of everyone, you couldn’t help but cry
  Em           C
  How could I sit there and fall for that?
  D      G
  How could you let this happen?
  Em      C
  How could everything just stop like that?
  D          G
  I will never understand you
  
  Em   G
  I was so happy to be out of school,
  Am   D
  all those memories over the time.
  Em   G
  Late night texts and splashing in the pool
  Am   D
  I was so happy when I didn’t know you.
  Em   G
  Then came around August,
  Am   D
  I was happy to see you,
  Em   G
  But I could feel you slipping
  Am   D
  I was starting to see a different you
  Em       G
  Instead of sweet paragraphs
  Am  D
  They were all angry
  Em     G
  from the other end of the conversation
  Am D
  It got so scary.
  C
  You told me you were sorry every time
  D
  You told me you meant it
  Em     G
  But from the other end of the conversation,
    D
  I could never believe it.
  Em           C
  How could I sit there and fall for that?
  D      G
  How could you let this happen?
  Em      C
  How could everything just stop like that?
  D          G
  I will never understand you
  Em         G
  After every fight,
  Am       D
  my sister would be there
  Em                         G
  Always there to comfort me,
  Am     D
  Always here to make you aware
  
  Em  G
  It hurt me to talk like that
  Am  D
  Like no other pain,
  Em  G
  But now I know what really hurts,
  Am  D
  Now I know real pain
  Em
  You told me goodbye
  C
  You said you wanted to be done
  Em              G
  I was fine cause there’d be no more fights,
  D
  But now I see I was wrong.
  
  Em           C
  How could I sit there and fall for that?
  D      G
  How could you let this happen?
  Em      C
  How could everything just stop like that?
  D          G
  I will never understand you
  Em  G
  I was done, kind of happy,
  Am  D
  Talked to my sister up until the day
  Em  G
  You and my sister? 4 days later?
  Am  D
  I knew she wasn’t really there to stay.
  C
  I told her how I felt
  D
  I told her how much it hurt
  Em  G
  I was starting to see the real you,
  D
  And How you treated me like dirt.
  C
  She tried to say she’s sorry
  D
  She said goodbye to you
  Em  D
  I’m still upset with her
  C
  But now everyone is upset with me
  Em           C
  How could I sit there and fall for that?
  D      G
  How could you let this happen?
  Em      C
  How could everything just stop like that?
  D          G
  I will never understand you
  Em  G
  Now I see that it can’t be me,
  Am  D
  The one who turns out good,
  Em  G
  Everyone has turned on me,
  Am  D
  No one thinks I should.
  Em  G
  I don’t know how all this happened
  Am  D
  It feels like just a bad dream
  Em  G
  People tell me don’t be mad
  Am  D
  I guess they don’t know how bad that seams
  
  Em  G
  They tell me to stop,
  Am  D
  They tell me to forgive,
  Em  G
  I know I really should,
  Am  D
  But where would that leave me?
  
  Em           C
  How could I sit there and fall for that?
  D      G
  How could you let this happen?
  Em      C
  How could everything just stop like that?
  D          G
  I will never understand you
  Em           C
  How could I sit there and fall for that?
  D      G
  How could you let this happen?
  Em      C
  How could everything just stop like that?
  D          G
  I will never understand you
