Tough Love - Gracie Abrams
Tuning: , E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
I took a train
to Boston and
I wanted to c
ry
He's gone, I'm
24 and it's a
Saturday nigh
t
I ran and took
his jacket wi
th a rip in th
e side
I hate when we
fight, it suc
ks when we fig
ht
But honestly w
hatever, he's
just one of th
e boys
I'll date for
like a summer
and I'll leave
when I'm bore
d
This train is
full of strang
ers but I migh
t like 'em mor
e
Said I might l
ike 'em more
Yeah, no, I li
ke 'em more
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And that's jus
t tough love
But I mean it,
really mean i
t
I'm not charme
d so I'm leavi
ng
[Chorus]
I laughed the
second he trie
d to call my b
luff
I guess it's a
lways funny un
til it's not
When I left hi
m there to fee
l it
Couldn't guess
what I'd be l
eavin' for
No chance I'll
waste my twen
ties on random
men
Not one of the
m is cooler th
an all my frie
nds
And I hate to
leave him blee
din'
But I know, kn
ow what I'm le
avin' for
[Verse 2]
I'm walkin' by
the river and
I stopped by
the boats
At night it's
kind of tempti
ng just to see
if you'd floa
t
The benches by
the Charles g
ave me somewhe
re to go
I feel like I'
m home, there'
s a bar down t
he road
I'm wasted wit
h the sister o
f a boy that I
met
Through someon
e back in coll
ege, she's a w
eird intellect
She liked to t
ell the truth
and she was ha
rsh but direct
Her boyfriends
all left, she
had that effe
ct
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And that's jus
t tough love
And you're luc
ky to receive
it, right?
He'll crumble
to pieces
[Chorus]
I laughed the
second he trie
d to call my b
luff
I guess it's a
lways funny un
til it's not
When I left hi
m there in pie
ces
Couldn't guess
what I'd be l
eavin' for
No chance I'll
waste my twen
ties on random
men
Not one of the
m is smarter t
han all my fri
ends
And I hate to
leave him blee
din'
But I know, kn
ow what I'm le
avin' for
[Post-Chorus]
Oooo
Oh, I know, kn
ow what I'm le
aving for
Mmmm
Oh, I know, kn
ow what I'm le
avin'
[Bridge]
No, I'm not
gonna miss th
e way he'd kic
k me in my bed
while sleepin
'
And I'm not
gonna miss hi
s shitty frien
ds and nights
of their binge
drinking
And I'm not
gonna miss hi
s old inflated
ego, shallow
thinking
And I'm not
gonna miss de
nying that I g
ot my own damn
reasons
[Chorus]
I laughed the
second he trie
d to call my b
luff
I guess it's a
lways funny un
til it's not
When I left hi
m there to fee
l it
Couldn't guess
what I'd be l
eavin' for
No chance I'll
waste my twen
ties on random
men
Not one of the
m is tougher t
han all my fri
ends
And I hate to
leave him blee
din'
But I know, kn
ow what I'm le
avin' for
