Its strange to think the songs we used to sing 
                C             G           D/F Em C 
The smiles, the flowers, everything... is gone 
G                 D 
Yesterday I found out about you 
Em            C               G       D/F Em C 
Even now just looking at you... feels wrong 
Em                 C                       G 
You say that youd take it all back, given one chance 
                  D               C       D 
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes 

                   Em                     C 
You shouldve said no, you shouldve gone home 
                      D                           G

    D/F                Em                           C 
You shouldve know that word, bout what you did with her 
                  D 
Would get back to me... 
                     Em                         C             
And I shouldve been there, in the back of your mind 
               D             G 
I shouldnt be asking myself why 
    D/F         Em             C              A 
You shouldnt be begging for forgiveness at my feet... 
                   C                D 
You shouldve said no, baby and you might still have me

And baby you know all the right things... to say 
    G      D/F       Em      C 
But do you honestly expect me to believe 
G        D/F        Em  C 
We could ever be the same 
Em                           C              G
