Verse 1

C G

We broke up a month ago, your friends aren’t mine, you know I know

Am F

You’ve moved on, found someone new

C G

One more girl who brings out the better in you

Am F

And I thought my heart was detached from all the sunlight of our past

Chorus

Am F

But I just wanna know, do you ever get ’em back

C G

Lonely nights and missing you

Am F

Do you think of me, do I ever cross your mind

C G Am F

I hope you’re happy but not like how you were with me

C G

I’m selfish I know, I can’t let you go

Am

So find someone great but don’t find no one better

F C G

I hope you’re happy but don’t be happier

Verse 2

C G

And do you tell her she’s the most beautiful girl you’ve ever seen

Am F

An eternal love bullshit you never actually believed

C G Am

Remember when I believed you meant it when you said it first to me

F C

And now I’m picking her apart like cutting her down will make you miss me
