  E 
Today was the worst day 
  F#m 
I went through hell 
  A                              B 
I wish I could remove it from my mind

Two months away from you 
    F#m 
But I couldn't tell 
  A                                         B 
I thought that everything was gonna be just fine 

Refrain: 
    C#m 
The post card that you wrote 
          A 
with the stupid little note

Something wasn't quite right about it

It smelled like chick perfume 
       A 
And it didn't smell like you

I hate you why are guys so lame? 
A 
Everything I gave you I want everything back but you 

(Repeat Intro once)

   E                        F#m 
My friends tried to tell me all along

that you weren't the right one for me 
   E                        F#m 
My friends tried to tell me to be strong 
  A                                 B 
I bet you didn't think that I would see

The post card that you wrote 
          A 
with the stupid little note 
    E                             B 
but something wasn't quite right about it 
  C#m 
I want to see you cry 
       A 
like I did a thousand times 
E                                  B 
Now you're losing me you're losing me now 
  A 
Because you wrote
