[Intro]
Em7  C  G    Em7  C  G
Em7  C  G    Em7  C  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
   Em     C                 G        Em
Oh I've always been good at leaving
         C               G
I didn't mean to be this way
         C
But I'll leave like your hard-earned money
                      G
When you got bills to pay
 
 
[Verse 2]
    Em  C              G         Em
And I'm pretty good at drinking
      C                G
Just enough to ease my pain
          C
But if my momma saw me shaking
                G
I wonder what she'd say
 
 
[Chorus]
     Em7          C             G
So excuse me if I seem to be confused
    Em7       C              G
But I just realized an awful truth
        D                          Em   D   C
I ain't never been good at nothing good for me
                                    Em7  C  G    Em7  C  G
But lately I've been good at loving you
 
 
[Verse 3]
   Em          C             G       Em
Oh I ain't any good at being lonely
         C              G
And I've been alone too much
        C
But I'd rather be all by myself
                       G
Than to hurt someone I love
 
 
[Verse 4]
Em          C              G
I'm good at staying up all night
         Em               C         G
Fighting wars with myself in my own head
     C
Over things I did wrong and apologies
             G
That I never said
 
 
[Chorus]
     Em7          C             G
So excuse me if I seem to be confused
    Em7       C              G
But I just realized an awful truth
        D                          Em   D   C
I ain't never been good at nothing good for me
                                    Em  C  G
But lately I've been good at loving you
 
 
[Interlude]
Em  C  G    D    Em D C
 
 
[Chorus]
     Em7          C             G
So excuse me if I seem to be confused
    Em7       C              G
But I just realized an awful truth
        D                          Em   D   C
I ain't never been good at nothing good for me
                                    Em  C  G
But lately I've been good at loving you
 
 
[Outro]
G              Em  C  G
Good at loving you
   Em     C                 G
Oh I've always been good at leaving
