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

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.
