[Verse 1]
C G
I don't wanna be bitter
C
I dont wanna be the girl with
D
the upside down smile
C G
It's cold enough in the winter
C G
walking through this pain feels like
A G D
a thousand long miles
Em7
I'm stuck in the middle
Am7
of just around the bend
C
but I keeping breaking down
D
before I reach the end
[Chorus]
G
'Cause it hurts too much
D
and I just can't rise above
C
all the things you said you'd do
D
but you never follow through
Em
and I've wrestled with the demons
C
who keep trying to bring me down
D
and I've swung my fists
C
'cause i just wanna get this over with
C G D
The Bitterness
C G D
The Bitterness
[Verse 2]
C G
It's like a poison
C
and I can't get it
Am C D
out of my veins
C G
a deafening noise that
C G
keeps pounding down
Am G D
like buckets of rain
Em
well there's so many things
Am
I know I should be thankful for
C
so why is it so hard to pick myself
D
up off the floor?
[Chorus 2]
G
'Cause it hurts too much
D
and I just can't rise above
C
all the things you said you'd do
D
but you never follow through
Em
and I've wrestled with the demons
C
who keep trying to bring me down
D
and I've swung my fists
C
'cause i just wanna get this over with
C G D
The Bitterness

D
chains off of me
[Chorus 3]

'Cause it hurts too much
D
and I just can't rise above
C
all the things you said you'd do
