[Opening]
For all the [C]times that you [G]rain on my [Am]parade
And all the [Dm]clubs you get in [C]using my [G]name,
You think you [C]broke my heart, oh [G]girl for good[Am]ness sake.
You think I’m [Dm]crying, on my [C]own, well I [G]ain’t

[chorus]
And I didn’t wanna [C]write a song [G]cause I didn’t want [Am]anyone thinking I still care.
I [Dm]don’t but, [C]you still hit my [G]phone up
And baby I’ll be [C]moving on [G]and I think you [Am]should be something.
I don’t wanna [Dm]hold back, [C]maybe you should [G]know that.

[chorus]
My mama don’t [Am]like you and [F]she likes every[C]one.
And I never [Am]like to [F]admit that I was [C]wrong.
And I’ve been so [Am]caught up in [F]my job, didn’t [C]see what’s going [G]on.
And now I [Am]know, [F]I’m better [G]sleeping on my own.

[chorus]
Cause if you [C]like the [G]way you [Am]look that [F]much,
Oh baby, [C]you should go and [G]love your[C]self.
And if you [C]think that [G]I’m still [Am]holding [F]on to something,
[C]You should go and [G]love your[C]self.

[section 2]
But when you [C]told me that you [G]hated my [Am]friends,
The only [Dm]problem was with [C]you and not [G]them.
And every [C]time you told [G]me my opinion [Am]was wrong
And tried to [Dm]make me forget [C]where I came [G]from

[chorus]
And I didn’t wanna [C]write a song [G]cause I didn’t want [Am]anyone thinking I still care.
I [Dm]don’t but, [C]you still hit my [G]phone up.
And baby I’ll be [C]moving on [G]and I think you [Am]should be something.
I don’t wanna [Dm]hold back, [C]maybe you should [G]know that.

[chorus]
My mama don’t [Am]like you and [F]she likes every[C]one.
And I never [Am]like to [F]admit that I was [C]wrong.
And I’ve been so [Am]caught up in [F]my job, didn’t [C]see what’s going [G]on.
And now I [Am]know, [F]I’m better [G]sleeping on my own.

[chorus]
Cause if you [C]like the [G]way you [Am]look that [F]much,
Oh baby, [C]you should go and [G]love your[C]self.

[Closing]

[C] [G] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [C]
For all the [C]times that you [G]made me feel [Am]small,
I fell in [Dm]love, now I feel [C]nothing at [G]all.
I never [C]felt so low when [G]I was vulnerable[Am].
Was I a [Dm]fool to let you [C]break down my [G]walls?

[chorus]
Cause if you [C]like the [G]way you [Am]look that [F]much,
Oh baby, [C]you should go and [G]love your[C]self.
And if you [C]think that [G]I’m still [Am]holding [F]on to something,
