Intro: 1-2-3-4-
Verse 1: A You left a guy who told you DE where to be and when A I was with a girl who tried DE to sleep with my best friend F#m We both took comfort in D each other's messy lives A Finding warmth on that E cold November night A We swore it'd be years D before we brought that on EA again Days later you said D that we should be more E than just friends F#m I let my guard down cause D the feelings were so strong A But acted stupid and E that's when he came along

Verse 2: A We'd sneak out and go DE swimming late at night A You're one of few who DE can say they've seen me cry F#m You got my quirkiness and D awkward sense of humor A We shared Simpson quote and E started made up rumors A If night turned into day DE you'd hide me from your mom A I could never fight with you DE cause you were never wrong F#m This time especially D the blame is all on me A If I'd not screwed things E up I wonder where we'd be
(Repeat Chorus 1)
