[Intro]
A C#m Bm D E
Maybe he was wrong, but then she fooled him all along, he was the best she had
A C#m Bm D E
"Get even right away," that was her mantra for the day, he wasn't good or bad
A C#m Bm D E
She asked me for a dance, and "yes, I'd love to, but I can't" was what I meant to say
A C#m Bm D E
Before the words came out, I was already at her house, I guess I'll have to stay
[Chorus]
A C#m
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
Bm F#m
I can't believe it has been so long
A C#m
Tell me, why won't you tell me?
Bm A
It's just as well these days are gone
[Instrumental]
A C#m Bm D E
[Verse]
A C#m Bm D E
He would never know, and though I would, she swears he won't, it was a small mistake
A C#m Bm D E
You really can't blame me, but I'm fairly sure that he has something else to say
A C#m Bm D E
He promises revenge, I should've tried to make amends, and we should end this here
A C#m Bm D E
Well, I'd apologize, but it's too late, and I know why, this is goodbye, my dear
[Chorus]
A C#m
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
Bm F#m
I can't believe it has been so long
A C#m
Tell me, why won't you tell me?
Bm A
It's just as well these days are gone
[Bridge]
Bm A D E
Every day now she finds memories when she shuts her eyes
Bm A D E
Since it hurts her to sleep, she stays up all night long forgetting memories with me
A C#m Bm D E
I tried to cut and run, that little girl's just so much fun, God help me if it's love
A C#m Bm D E
It's nothing of the sort, she'll roll the bass player just for sport, let's sweep under the rug
[Verse]
A C#m
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
Bm F#m
I can't believe it has been so long
A C#m
Tell me, why won't you tell me?
Bm A
It's just as well these days are gone
N.C
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
N.C
I can't believe it has been so long
N.C
Tell me, why won't you tell me?
N.C A
It's just as well these days are gone
[Outro]
A C#m Bm D E A
