  			  A                                      D 
I guess you've heard by now that I've decided 
A                              E  
I'm not gonna waste my time on you 
A                               D  
It was quite a flame that we ignited  
A            E                   D                 A 
It's too bad that you had such a hard time staying true 
 
I don't know how all this trouble started 
When we jumped in I guess I sank too deep 
And I don't hold it against you the way we parted 
But I blame it on the company you keep 
 
            D                       A  
Don't blame me, if I don't send you roses anymore 
            A                                          E 
Don't blame me, if I don't kiss your hand and hold the door 
        A                                           D  
There's just too many others and I don't like to compete 
          A                                     E           A 
So honey, when I'm gone you can blame it on the company you keep 
 
 
 
I had to watch your promises expire 
Like a coupon in the Sunday classifieds 
I used to cry but now I'm too damn tired 
One thing is for sure, you cant say I never tried 
 
Repeat Chorus
