Lyrics

[Intro]
| G | Bm |

[Verse 1]
Em D/F#           G
       When you'd yell,
I would stay silent
          Bm
You never noticed I was quiet
      Em                                      D/F#
I was taught that speaking up was talking back
       G
Always first to say I'm sorry
         Bm
'Cause I wanted you to like me
      Em                                         D/F#
And I thought that's what it took to make it last
       C
It's a loselose

[Pre-Chorus]
       D
That I don't choose
    C                                    D#dim7
But you don't always choose the ones you love

[Chorus]
Em            C              G
  I shouldn't have to be the bigger person
Em           C                G
  How come I have to break to keep us workin'?
     Em           C
It's always up to me
     G                     B7
Even though it shouldn't be
       C                                  Cm
I will take the blame the way you want me to
'Cause that's what I do for you

[Post-Chorus]
G Bm Em D/F#      G
            I was half of this dynamic

[Verse 2]
      Bm
I was stable, you were manic
    Em                                   D/F#
Without you or with you comes with a cost
      G
I got used to the excuses
     Bm
And emotional abuses
   Em                                    D/F#
We kept moving the lines we'd never cross
       C
It's a loselose

[Pre-Chorus]
       D
That I don't choose
    C                                    D#dim7
But you don't always choose the ones you love

[Chorus]
Em            C              G
  I shouldn't have to be the bigger person
Em           C                G
  How come I have to break to keep us workin'?
     Em           C
It's always up to me
     G                     B7
Even though it shouldn't be
       C                                  Adim/C
I will take the blame the way you want me to
                               Am
'Cause that's what I do for you

[Bridge]
                     D
I always think it's over
                      G
But it never really is
                          Em
'Cause I can't get the closure
                 Am
When you're like this
              D
Can we switch?

[Interlude]
Em           C
  Maybe this time,
              G
you'll be the bigger person
Em                   C                G
  'Cause I'm gettin' tired of bearin' all your burden
   Em              C
It should be up to you
        G                     D/F#
But you won't admit the truth,    ohhohh

[Chorus]
Em            C              G
  I shouldn't have to be the bigger person
Em           C                G
  How come I have to break to keep us workin'?
     Em           C
It's always up to me
     G                     B7
Even though it shouldn't be
     C                                  Cm
I'll take the blame the way you want me to
                           G
'Cause that's what I do for you
