[Intro]
(played by the right hand on piano)
E A E
[Verse 1]
E G#m7
So long, my only friend
C#m7 B
I guess we gave it a try
A E
And then I guess we tried again
F# F# G#m7/F# F#
I don't remember why
E G#m7
But nothing's as hard to do
C#m7 B
As just saying goodbye
A E
And when love is in the way, you gotta say
F#m D E (walk up with just notes: E E F F#)
I guess love ain't always right
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m G#m7
And I find out you'd gone and met a new man
A B
And told him he's the love of your life
[Chorus]
A E/G# F#m F#m G#m7
How could you, baby? (could you, baby)
A E/G# F#m F#m G#m7
How could you, baby? (could you, baby)
A E/G# F#m E
Well, how could you, baby? (could you, baby)
[Verse 2]
E G#m7
Well, have you lost your memories?
C#m7 B
Did you wash 'em down the drain?'
A E
And did you have some help deciding
F# F# G#m7/F# F#
To forget my name?
E G#m7
Cause nothing I can say to you
C#m7 B
Could ever ease this pain
A E
I'm just waiting for the day when I can say
F#m D E (walk up with just notes: E E F F#)
That you are mine again
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m G#m7
When I found out you'd gone and met a new man
A B
I felt so lonely that I cried
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
E E/D# E/D E/C#
Well, how could you, baby?
E/C# E/D E/D# E
How could you, baby?
E E/D# E/D E/C#
How could you, baby?
E/C# E/D E/D# E
How could you, baby?
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m G#m7
When I found out you'd gone and met a new man
A B
I felt so lonely that I cried, I cried, I cried
[Chorus]
