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

One day for no reason

you met him

And why you're still

with him today
