               E              Bsus4 
It could have been but never was 
              E                   C#m7   Bsus4   Asus2 
At least the way you thought it'd be when you grew up 
                E       Bsus4         E            C#m7  Bsus4 Asus2

You were good, You were good

I believed you all along

You got a charm you keep around your neck

Reminds you of him and I can see right through 
             E                  Bsus4 
And either you're just bad at cheating 
            E              C#m7 Bsus4         Asus2 
Or there's something your heart you wished I knew

I believed you all along 
           E       Bsus4 F#m 
Yeah it's sad but baby here we are

Then it was gone

So I'm not who you wanted but 
       E                C#m7     Bsus4   Asus2 
Your still the one who sets the fire in me 
             E               Bsus4 
Guess I'll drink what I'll drink 
            E              C#m7  Bsus4  Asus2 
Until the loving touch I need is not a need

     E          Bsus4 Asus2 
I believed you all along

Yeah it's sad but baby here we are
