[Hook]
DmBbFGm
I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you
DmBbFGm
I'm pretending, and that's all I can do (that's all I can do mama)
DmBbFGmF
The love I'm sending ain't making it through to your heart (I hope you hear me)
Verse 1Dm
Pain, since I've lost you, I'm lost too
Bb
Nigga feelin' like he at the bottom like a horse shoe
F
Sorry for the trouble that I put you and your heart through
GmDm
God knows that I'd do anything for a part two, or to
Be prayin' for the day you come back to me
Bb
Sayin' that you forgive me, give me another chance
F
I'm needin' it like a kidney, I don't wanna advance
Gm
Give me back her hands, give me back her touch
Dm
I don't ask for much, but I fucked up
Bb
I know I fucked up, I admit I fucked up
FGm
But everybody fuck up, now this other nigga lucked up
Tell him me and my clique don't give a fuck
Dm
Cause um, we from New Orleans, she was from Georgia
Bb
She was my down chick, I was her soldier
F
I was her gangsta, she was my shoulder
Gm
You were the pistol to my holster... BANG!
[Hook]
DmBbFGm
You've been hiding, never letting it show
DmBbFGm
Always trying, to keep it under control (I see you hidin' it mama)
DmBbFGmF
You got it down, and you're well on your way to the top (keep doin' your thing)
C
But there is something that you forgot
Verse 2Dm
You forgot about the house, you forgot about the ring
Bb
I remember everything, I just wanna hear you sing
F
I remember the love, right after the fights
Gm
You can't tell me you don't remember those nights
Dm
And if I would cry, then you would cry twice
Bb
To me you are the brightest star under sunlight
F
See take away my title, take away my stripes
Gm
You give me back my girl and you give me back my life
Gm
Give me back my girl and you give me back my life
Dm
See this is just a nightmare, so I blink twice
Bb
Open up my eyes hopin' she'd be in my sight
F
I remember the time, I wish I could bring it back
Gm
What she mean to me, is what I mean to rap (what I mean to rap)
[Hook]
DmBbFGm
You've been hiding, (y'know) never letting it show
DmBb
Always trying (I see you hidin' it mama)
FGm
To keep it under control (but I know you know)
DmBb
You got it down (I know you do)
FGmF
And you're well on your way to the top
(but I wish you and yours nothin' but happiness shawty)
Verse 3Dm
But I hope you haven't forgot about me
Up in the livin' room watchin' Sports Center
Bb
You were cookin' dinner, I was such a sinner
FGm
But the Lord is a forgiver, you know they say if you pray
Then you can get your blessings ordered and delivered
Dm
And your boyfriend is not like me
Bb
Ma, you even went and got a teardrop like me
F
I remember we would sit at home all day
Gm
You called me "butta," I called you "bae"
Dm
My momma asked about you, my partners did too
Bb
I know your daughter will be so amazin' like you
F
And I know you probably wish you never met me
Gm
And I just wish you never forget me, and let me say
Dm
Please don't worry 'bout the women I have been with
Bb
No engagement can amount to your friendship
F
And I hope that nigga know he got a queen
Gm
And all I can do is dream, damn
[Hook]
DmBbFGm
I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you
DmBbFGm
I'm pretending, and that's all I can do

The love I'm sending ain't making it through to your heart
