Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Every  time I end up waking up in some hotel without my
Set  of keys
Coming  to, remembering the way you turned me out when I was
On  my knees
 You  think that was
One  up  for you
 But  I know I  scored something too
When  I see the way you have to struggle just to do a little
Simple  thing
I  feel apologetic just because I'm not particularly
Suffering
 So  I let you
take me down
 I'm  like your
 rent--  clown
When  I saw my baby  cry
I  knew that he loved  me
That  was some great  victory
 He  cried because of me
He  hit me with his  belt
But  his tears were all I felt
When  I saw  my baby  cry
I~~~~~~~~~  knew~~~~~~~~
 he loved me
 (BRIDGE)
When  you try and cut me down and push me back if I attack your
attitude
I  rise up to the challenge 'cause I like to taste the sugar of your
violent  mood
 Just  like a stormy sea
 You're  natural
Poetry  to me
When  I saw my baby  cry
I  knew he loved  me
That  was some great victory
 He  cried because of me
He  hit me with his  belt
But  his tears were all I felt
When  I saw  my baby  cry
I~~~~~~~~~  knew~~~~~~~~
 he loved me
 (OUTRO)
I  knew
He  loved me
