Verse 1
Am F
Brown guilty eyes and little white lies
C G
Yeah, I played dumb but I always knew
Am F
That you’d talk to her, maybe did even worse
C G
I kept quiet so I could keep you
Chorus
Am F
God, I wish that you had thought this through
C G
Before I went and fell in love with you
Am F
When she’s sleeping in the bed we made
C G
Don’t you dare forget about the way
Am F C
You betrayed me, ’cause I know that you’ll never feel sorry
G
For the way I hurt, yeah
Verse 2
