Verse 1: 
 G                    D               Am 
Everybody thinks that I?m doing fine 
Am                          C                D 
They think I?ve finally got you off my mind 
G                                 D               Am 
I?ve fooled ?em all, oh babe I?m playin? in cool 
Am                            D 
But there?s a part of me that I can?t seem to fool 
D 
About getting over you 

   G               D       Am     C 
So what am I gonna tell my heart 
G         D          Am           D 
While I?m lying here alone in the dark 
Em           D               C            G 
And your memory steps in and tears it all apart 
Am                 D       G 
So what am I gonna tell my heart 
 
Verse 2 same chords: 
 
You?d think by now that I?d be over you 
I could tell ya that, but my heart knows the truth 
That lie?s convincing girl for everyone but me 
And every day that goes by something?s telling me 
That part of me ain?t free 
 
Repeat Chorus, second time key change up a step
