Intro 
C
Verse
     C                        C
I've tried and I've tried for so long to please you
F                        C
Gave you every bit of my time
C                           C
Gave you everything I could possibly give you
   F                      C
My body, my heart, and my mind
  C                    C
I turned my family and good friends against me
F                        C
Listened to my own heart break
      C                 C
And I did it all in the name of love
G                       C    C
Gave up myself for your sake
Chorus
    C F                   C
And you never cared about me
C F                 C
You only hurt and deceive
  C  F                       C   F
I realize after all of these years
     C         F         G          C
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears
Verse
       C                               C
You've cheated, you've lied and you've hurt me
F              C
Over and over again
    C                      C
You promised to love me forever
       F                           C
But forever reached a bitter sweet end
     C                       C
Been blinded by love to your actions
       F                     C
But at last I can see my way clear
     C                              C
I've cried and I've tried, and I've tried and I've cried
    G                          C
But you, you've never shed one tear
Chorus
       C F                   C
'Cause you never cared about me
C F                 C
You only hurt and deceive
  C  F                       C   F
I realize after all of these years
     C         F         G          C
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears
[Break]
Am        G                          F          C
You ain't worth, you ain't worth the salt in my tears
Am           G                       F              C
Treated like dirt, I'm hurt, I ain't hangin' 'round here
Am             G               F          C
You've left me crying, left me crying for years
    Am        G         F          C
But you ain't worth the salt in my tears
Outro 
Am        G         F          C
