F                             Bb 
Everything's the way that you left it baby 
    C                               F 
The broken heart, the tears and the pain 
                        Bb 
I set your plate on the table each night 
C                         F 
Just to keep from going insane 
           Bb 
I've tried whiskey and women 
        F 
Till it didn't matter 
     C                     F 
If I knew my right from my wrong 
       F 
Then I made a decision 
   Bb 
To live with your memory 
   C                       F 
Pretending that you wasn't gone. 

 
  Bb                       F 
I Gave Up On Trying To Get Over You 
  C                      F 
I done everything that a man can do 
   Bb                        F 
To soften the pain when your love was through 
  C                        F         Bb F 
I Gave Up On Trying To Get Over You. 

F 
All of your clothes I hung 
Bb 
Back in the closet 
C                      F 
Next to the bed beside me 
                    Bb 
I put your pictures up on the wall 
C                              F 
Just the way that they used to be 
        Bb 
I threw lipstick and perfume 
    F  
All over the dresser 
    C                      F 
And cigarette butts on the floor 
F 
It's hard to conceive  
Bb 
Anyone could believe 
C                        F 
That you don't live here anymore. 


  C                        F         Bb F 
I Gave Up On Trying To Get Over You.
