You should have heard me sobbing
E B
As I drove home that night
B F#
Got into bed and stayed there
E G
For days I just laid there
B G#
Having been permanently changed
E A
But we won't get into that now
E B
Let's take it from the start
B F#
You should have seen me smiling
E B
Like the world was mine
B F#
She used to call me baby
E G
Softly, sometimes
B G#
But if I dwell on those days too long
E
I feel like my life is over
A
And that's no good
E B
So let's move on
B G D A
To the part where I begin to sense
C#
Her distance
D D# E
I panic and hold on tighter
E D
But that makes it worse

How am I supposed to take it

B F# E
I had a special evening all planned out
B F#
Desperately determined to reignite
B F#
Some spark between us
E
She had to feel something for me
B F#
A love as strong as ours
B F#
Doesn't just go away
E
You can't just turn it off
B F# B
Unless she was lying all those times
F#
But I don't think so
E
I really don't think so
B F# B
The way she used to look at me
F#
Made me a thousand feet high
E B
The meaning of the word cool
F#
Not the same geek

Who fumbled through his words that night
E B F# B
The ugliest night
F#
I said some pretty awkward things
E B F# B
I got the feeling that she felt sorry for me

I should have seen it was hopeless and left it alone

But I had to go on embarrassing myself

I must have sounded pretty pathetic, I know
B F# B
That's why I don't blame her for what she said

But listen to me rambling
E G
We don't know each other that well
A B
But you're so easy to talk to
G# E
I feel like I can tell you almost anything
A A E
I hope I haven't put you off
A E
I have a tendency to do that

Why don't I just be quiet?
You should have heard me sobbing
