the other version is most certainly not right , so here is a closer one
at least . standard tuning

inrto x 2 : G B7 C D7 ( end on a final G strum before the pause for verse )

G B7 C D7
i had a moment when i thought i might be wrong ,
G B7 C D7
but ashley how could it be?
G B7 C D7
i waited on the rooftop all night long ,
G B7 C D7
but you weren’t coming for me .
B7 C
and now i’m sitting here like a mixed up little kid
B7 C
you said you wanted me but you never did
G B7 C D7
there was a moment i thought our love was strong ,
G C G
but now that moment is gone .

G B7 C D7
i could stand right underneath the window of your room ,
G B7 C D7
throwing rocks i’ve done it before
G B7 C D7
and i would love to find a reason to dazzle you with lies ,
G B7 C D7
but i don’t have the energy no more .
B7 C
and you never promised anything that you didn’t give ,
B7 C
i assumed that you’d say yes but you never did .
G B7 C D7
there was a moment my love for you was strong ,
G C G G C
G
but now that moment is gone . now that moment is gone .

B7 C
you said you wanted me but you never did .

that should be pretty damn close . i may have misplaced a chord name here
or there but follow the pattern of the rest if i messed up . it is a pretty
simple , and awesome , song . enjoy .
