G                                      D
There goes my ol' girlfriend, there's another diamond ring
         Em                        D     C
And, uh, all those late night promises I guess they don't mean a thing
   G                           D
So baby what's the story? Did ya¦ find another man?
      Em
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made?
           C                                                  D
When you don't look back I guess the feeling starts to fade away¦
  G                                    Em
I used to feel yo' fire but now it's cold inside¦
            C
And you're back on the street like you didn't miss a beat, yeah
