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

One day for no reason
Bm F#m

you met him
Bm D
And why you're still

with him today

It's been so long

I should just move on

I'm just glad I got

a chance to know you
