you left a guy who told you

where to be and when
A
i was with a girl who tried

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

D
it’s been so long
E
i should just move on

there’s other
E/G# F#m
fish in the sea
D
but i keep hoping that

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 )

bridge :
F#m A D
one day for no reason
Bm F#m
i broke our date
A
so you made other
D Bm
plans that day
F#m
and that’s when
A D
you met him
Bm D
and why you’re still
E
with him today

chorus 2 :
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
you’ll swim back home to
D
i’m just glad i got
E
a chance to know you
D
you’ll forever be
