Verse 1:
A#
You left a guy who told you
D# F
where to be and when
A#
I was with a girl who tried
D# F
to sleep with my best friend

We both took comfort in
D#
each other's messy lives
A#
Finding warmth on that
F
cold November night
A#
We swore it'd be years
D#
before we brought that on
F A#
again Days later you said
D#
that we should be more
F
than just friends
Gm
I let my guard down cause
D#
the feelings were so strong
A#
But acted stupid and
F
that's when he came along
Chorus 1:
D#
It's been so long
F
I should just move on
A#
There's other
F/A Gm
fish in the sea
D#
But I keep hoping that
F A--C#m--D--E-D-C#m- x2
you'll swim back home to me
Verse 2:
A#
We'd sneak out and go
D# F
swimming late at night
A#
You're one of few who
D# F
can say they've seen me cry
Gm
You got my quirkiness and
D#
awkward sense of humor
A#
We shared Simpson quote and
F
started made up rumors
A#
If night turned into day
D# F
you'd hide me from your mom
A#
I could never fight with you
D# F
cause you were never wrong
Gm
This time especially
D#
the blame is all on me
A#
If I'd not screwed things
F
up I wonder where we'd be
(Repeat Chorus 1)

And why you're still

with him today
