Verse 1: 
 
A                E  
In a sandalwood frame 
 
A                    E 
We bought in New Mexico 
 
A                 D                     A 
I was wearin' the chain that old Indian made 
 
                     E 
That we practically stole 
 
A                  E 
Little shells in a jar 
 
A                E 
We found Hanalei Bay 
 
A                      D 
Got those matching tattoos 
 
                     A 
And those ten dollar shoes 
 
                E 
To remember our stay 
 
F#m                 E    D                  A 
If it hadn't been so good I wouldn't feel so sad 
 
D                    A 
If we hadn't been so happy baby, 
 
B                     D 
It wouldn't hurt this bad 
 
F#m                      E 
If you had told me this last summer 
 
D                   A 
I'd be on the floor laughin' 
 
D                         A 
Instead of standing round breakin' down 
 
E              A        E A E 
Wonderin' what happened 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
A                    E 
What am I suppose to do 
 
A                    E 
Without my very best friend 
 
A                  D                    A 
Boy you left me in shock and tied up in knots 
 
                E 
Then it hits me again 
 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
 
Instrumental: F#m  E D A B 
 
 
F#m                      E 
If you had told me this last summer 
 
D                   A 
I'd be on the floor laughin' 
 
D                         A 
Instead of standing round breakin' down 
 
E              A        E A E A 
Wonderin' what happened
