verse 1
G Em
Maybe I left so many things unspoken
C D
Maybe I lied about where I was going
G Em
And I don't blame you for the fact that you blame me
C D
And I won't hate you if you wanna forget me
C D G
And say it was all a cloud of smoke
C D G
Say it was nothing but a joke
C D Em
Everything that you say about me is true
C D G
But, just for the record, I really loved you
verse 2
G Em
You laugh with your friends when they talk about us
C D
You agree with them when they say I was never good enough
G Em
For all that you needed that I wasn't giving
C D
I guess it was easier to put it like this
C D G
And say it was all a cloud of smoke
C D G
Say it was nothing but a joke
C D Em
Everything that you say about me is true
C D G
But, just for the record, I really loved you
Bridge
C D G C
No-o, o-oh, and it means nothing but a sorry woman's words
C D G C
O-oh, o-oh, never try to lessen how much it hurt
C D G C
O-oh, o-oh, maybe it's a little bit selfish now
D
You probably don't even want to hear me out
C D G
So say it was all a cloud of smoke
C D G
And say it was nothing but a joke
C D Em
Everything that I did, I used every excuse
C D G
But, just for the record, I really loved you
Outro
C D G
Darling, just for the record, I really loved you
C D G
Just for the record, I really loved you
