  			Verse 1: 
                  D                       G 
	From the very first hello to the very last goodbye 
              A                               D   
	From here to there and everything between 
                                           G 
	All i ever did was try my best to keep you satisfied 
                    A                            D 
	And all you ever did was make a fool of me 
 
	 
Chorus: 
                A                             D   
	I tried every way i knew to give you everything i had 
                  E                              A   
	And all i ever did was try to treat you right 
                   D                              G 
	Still the best that i could do was never good enough for you 
                     A                                    D   
	I couldn't please you but the good Lord knows i tried 
 
 
Verse 2: 
      D                                             G      
	My old friends they tried to warn me but i paid them all no mind 
                A                                  D 
	When i see them now we don't have much to say 
                                                G    
	For you took everything we had,left me nothing but behind

	Feelin' like some old forgotten yesterday
