Verse 1

C G

I still remember third of December

Am F

Me in your sweater, you said it looked better

C G Am

On me than it did you, only if you knew

F

How much I liked you, but I watch your eyes

Chorus

C G Am

Why would you ever kiss me? I’m not even half as pretty

F C

You gave her your sweater, it’s just polyester

G Am F

But you like her better, wish I were Heather

Verse 2

C G

Watch as she stands with her holding your hand

Am F

Put your arm ’round her shoulder, now I’m getting colder

But how could I hate her, she’s such an angel

F

But then again, kinda wish she were dead
