Cadd9            D/F#                         G 
Susie said she'd seen you and you were doing fine 
     Cadd9                           D/F#                      G 
Then Billy butted in and changed the subject for the umpteenth time 
Cadd9               D/F#       G              Cadd9  
Julie walked up and said hello then pretended she didn't know 
   Am7                    Cadd9                 G       D/F# 
But I could tell when the tears welled up in her eyes 


Cadd9             D/F#          
Somebody knew but they weren't saying 
G                       Cadd9 
All of my friends would just look away 
    Am7                         D/F#             G 
And change the subject when the subject came to you 
Cadd9           D/F# 
They'd act like they knew nothing 
G                    Cadd9       
But I knew they were hiding something 
 Am7                   Cadd9  D/F#   G 
Somebody knew you found somebody new 



Johnny said last he'd heard you were moving away 
Well I think he knew where to but he wouldn't say 
Molly walked up and said there's a new girl in town 
Would it be okay if she brought her around 
And answered what I'd been wondering about all day
