Olivia Rodrigo - the grudge Chords

[intro]
A#  A#/A
A#  A#/A

[verse 1]
       A#
I have nightmares each week
           A#/A
'bout that Friday in May
    A#
One phone call from you
         A#/A
and my entire world was changed
Gm
Trust that you betrayed, confusion

that still lingers
     Gm
Took everything I loved and crushed

it in between your fingers
      A#
And I doubt you ever think about
    A#/A
the damage that you did
      A#
But I hold onto every detail
        A#/A
like my life depends on it
Gm
My undying love, now I hold it like a grudge
      Gm
Now I hear your voice every time

that I think I'm not enough

[chorus]
      D#
And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream

How could anybody do the things you did so easily?
      A#
And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine

But you know I can't let it go, I've tried,
                           Cm
I've tried, I've tried for so long
         Gm
It takes strength to forgive,
      F         D#
but I don't feel strong

[verse 2]
    A#
The arguments that
          A#/A
I've won against you in my head
       A#
In the shower, in the car,
           A#/A
and in the mirror before bed
             Gm
Yeah, I'm so tough when I'm alone,

and I make you feel so guilty
      Gm
And I fantasize about a time

you're a little fuckin' sorry
      A#
And I try to understand why
          A#/A
you would do this all to me
    A#                             A#/A
You must be insecure, you must be so unhappy
      Gm
And I know, in my heart, hurt people, hurt people
       Gm
And we both drew blood, but, man,

those cuts were never equal

[chorus]
      D#
And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream

How could anybody do the things you did so easily?
      A#
And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine

But you know I can't let it go, I've tried,
                           Cm
I've tried, I've tried for so long
         Gm             F         D#            A#
It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong

[bridge]
Gm                   Cm        D#
Ooh, ooh-ooh, do you think I deserved it all?
Gm                 Cm                   D#
Ooh, ooh-ooh, your flower's filled with vitriol
    F
You built me up to watch me fall
    F
You have everything, and you still want more

[chorus]
  D#
I try to be tough, I try to be mean
    D#
But even after all this,

you're still everything to me
      A#
And I know you don't care,

I guess that that's fine
    A#
But you know I can't let it go, I've tried,
                           Cm
I've tried, I've tried for so long
         Gm             F
It takes strength to forgive,
            D#              F
but I'm not quite sure I'm there yet
         Gm             F          D#  A#
It takes strength to forgive, but
