Tip: Keep the strumming very soft and delicate throughout the verses. Let each chord breathe before transitioning. The emotion comes from restraint, not volume.

Verse 1
CG
I still remember third of December
AmF
Me in your sweater, you said it looked better
CGAm
On me than it did you, only if you knew
F
How much I liked you, but I watch your eyes
Chorus
CGAm
Why would you ever kiss me? I’m not even half as pretty
FC
You gave her your sweater, it’s just polyester
GAmF
But you like her better, wish I were Heather
Verse 2
CG
Watch as she stands with her holding your hand
AmF
Put your arm ’round her shoulder, now I’m getting colder
CGAm
But how could I hate her, she’s such an angel
F
But then again, kinda wish she were dead
