[G] I’m not gonna say I don’t deserve it Like all those other [C] times I’m not gonna [D] claim to know what happened When I don’t even know how I got home that [G] night
[D] Well maybe I [G] said some things I shouldn’t Maybe I caused a [C] scene Yeah, maybe I [D] broke myself a promise I never meant to [G] keep
CHORUS [D] Well it won’t be the last [C] time It won’t be the last [G] time It won’t be the last [D] time [C] [D] It won’t be the last [G] time
