Verse 1:
B
You left a guy who told you

where to be and when

I was with a girl who tried

to sleep with my best friend

We both took comfort in

each other's messy lives
B
Finding warmth on that
F#
cold November night
B
We swore it'd be years
E
before we brought that on
F# B
again Days later you said
E
that we should be more
F#
than just friends
G#m
I let my guard down cause
E
the feelings were so strong
B
But acted stupid and
F#
that's when he came along
Chorus 1:
E
It's been so long
F#
I should just move on
B
There's other

fish in the sea
E
But I keep hoping that

you'll swim back home to me
Verse 2:
B
We'd sneak out and go
E F#
swimming late at night
B
You're one of few who
E F#
can say they've seen me cry
G#m
You got my quirkiness and
E
awkward sense of humor
B
We shared Simpson quote and
F#
started made up rumors
B
If night turned into day
E F#
you'd hide me from your mom
B
I could never fight with you
E F#
cause you were never wrong
G#m
This time especially
E
the blame is all on me
B
If I'd not screwed things
F#
up I wonder where we'd be
(Repeat Chorus 1)
