Verse 1
D Am C
Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
D Am C
Our song on the radio but it don’t sound the same
D Am C G
When our friends talk about you all it does is just tear me down
G Dm G
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
Pre-Chorus
Am Em
It all just sounds like oooh
Am Em Dm
Too young, too dumb to realize
Chorus
G C
That I should’ve bought you flowers
G C
And held your hand
G C
Should’ve gave you all my hours
Em Dm
When I had the chance
G C G C
Take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance
Am Dm G
Now my baby’s dancing, but she’s dancing with another man
Verse 2
D Am C
My pride, my ego, my needs and my selfish ways
D Am C
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
D Am C G
Now I’ll never, never get to clean up the mess I made
G Dm G
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
