[Verse 1]
G
Well I'm singing this song as loud as I can
C
As I drive too fast with my best friend
G
I don't wonder if you're wondering where I am
C
Cause I don't care if I ever see you again
G
Well I'm sick of being compared to what you had before
C
I'm sick of being what you don't want anymore
G
I'm sick of being used, bruised, and ignored
C
Because that's just not what friends are for
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D
You were wrong
Em
For me you were so wrong
D
I'd only come over to get it on
D
Well I've got to admit that it's time to move on
[Chrous 1]
G Em
Don't give me shit, don't give me lip
D C
Don't make me lose my grip on everything that I've known all along
[Verse 2]
G
Well I wasted two years trying to make you mine
C
Then I wasted two more as I missed every sign
G
That you weren't what you seemed like you were which is fine
C
Cause I don't know who I am most of the time
G C
But what I do know I can't show for fear that I'll throw it away
Like every word that you say
G
Like all the things that you're saving for a rainy day
C
And all the times that you wouldn't have it any other way
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D
I was wrong
Em
For you I was so wrong

G Em

D C
You showed me all the signs that you're not the one cause I've known all along
And it's time to move on
[Verse 3]
G
It's the day before our last day together
C
We realize it wasn't meant to last
G
We used to think that it would be forever
C
But we never thought forever'd go this fast
G
And now we're singing this song as loud as we can
C
As we drive too fast again and again
G
I don't wonder cause now I know where we stand
C
And I don't care if I ever see you again
[Pre-Chorus 3]
