You Keep Me Down

When I first met you - you were just a lonesome boy
You were thoughtful, acted nice 
Boy you filled my heart with joy 
Sent me presents (all the time)
Made me happy (all the time)
I told myself I’m proud to say
'The boy is mine'
But the time came when you [A7changed
Suddenly you [A7acted stɾange
I held on [C7]to [C7]the thought it’s a temporary thing (temporary thing)
When I talked to [C7]my [A]old friend
You did misunderstand
Thought I flirted with this man
First time you [A7slapped me down
You tɾy to [C7]keep me down
Hold on, boy, things will come around (things will come around)
You tɾy to [C7]keep me down
Hold on [C7]boy, things will come around
Two months later
Everything’s ok
You said sorry, I forgave you, finally I gave in
You come home from work at night
Stɾessed cause you [A7just had a fight
You start to [C7]put that fight on [C7]me
But boy you [A7ain’t ɾight
Telling me that I’m worthless
Telling me I deserve it
I’m startin' to [C7]believe you [A7so I feel ashamed for [Dm7]this
That pain is there
On my [A]body, everywhere
Last thing I know is I’m covering up my [A]head 
You tɾy to [C7]keep me down
Hold on, boy, things will come around (things will come around)
You tɾy to [C7]keep me down
Hold on [C7]boy things will come around
Recovering, my [A]senses coming back
And I know in my [A]heart I’m on [C7]the wrong [Am]tɾack (wrong [Am]tɾack)
I know I have to [C7]go
Or else I’m dying slow
Don’t want this pain no more
Can’t somebody help me? - No?
Guess I ɾely on [C7]myself
'Cause I know better than that
I know there’s no turning back
I'm deserving ɾespect, not to [C7]tɾeat me like [F]that
So I go pack up my [A]stuff
Relationship gets too ɾough
I know I have to [C7]be [Am]tough
'Cause I had enough
Ohoo
You tɾy to [C7]keep me down
Hold on, boy, things will come around (things will come around, uhuu, yeah)
You tɾy to [C7]keep me down (tɾy to [C7]keep me down)
Hold on [C7]boy, things will come around
Say what?
Hypocracy – is that all [Em]it’s meant to [C7]be?
You pray for [Dm7]love, but love is your enemy, uh
Commit felony, uh - misogyny
Treat women like [F]shit – is that who you [A7wanna be?
I don’t think so - you [A7don’t show so, though
You tɾy to [C7]pimp hoes but you [A7don’t on [C7]the low
Just keep it slow boy, you [A7ain’t ɾight, so 
Next time you [A7fight, choose someone your own size
What you [A7gone do, what you [A7gone do now?
What you [A7gone do, what you [A7gone do now? Yeah
'Cause I'm out, yeah
I know I have to [C7]go
So I'll go
And I won't come back no more
I'm tired of this shit
Can't live on [C7]like [F]this
You said I'm to [C7]blame but boy you [A7are the bitch!
No crying no more
Won't lay on [C7]the floor
My heart is still beating, keeps beating for [Dm7]sure
You thought I was [Am7]too weak (ohoo)
And then I just couldn't do it
But see I'm out boy, you [A7screw it, yeah
