The Guy That Got You chords by Alnev

• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Key: B

Verse 1:
B   F#sus4         Esus2  Esus2 B/D#
I found you at the precipice
B        F#sus4             Esus2  Esus2 B/D#
Where the soul becomes the skeleton
B        F#sus4          Esus2  Esus2 B/D#
And you taught me what a lover is
B       F#sus4           Esus2  Esus2 B/D#
When I found you at the precipice


Pre-chorus 1:
          B
You said “meet me at the ground”
      F#sus4
And I followed you
     Esus2
But when I turned around
                    Esus2 B/D#
I was crying in the arms of
  B                           F#sus4
Some woman claiming that she “loved” me
       Esus2                           B/D#
It was 2001, and I cried for the next damn
B               F#sus4
16 years till I met you
            Esus2
And it took 4 more just to forget you
  Esus2 B/D#      B
Now my friends smoke cigarettes
          F#sus2
They say: “stop writing songs ‘bout
    Esus2
The girl that never even left you”

Chorus:
B
I thought I knew
F#sus4                   Esus2
I thought I knew what a soulmate is

I’m not the groom
                B/D#     B
I’m not the guy that got you
               F#sus4
I hope it works
                         Esus2
I hope you got what you wanted

You wanted, you wanted
    Esus2 B/D#
You wanted now
B
I thought we had
F#sus4                      Esus2
I thought we had something different

But I’m not the man
                B/D#     B
I’m not the man that got you
                 F#sus4
You’re better without me
                  Esus2
So I hope you’re happy

You’re happy, you’re happy
       B/D#
Happy now


Verse 2:
B F#sus4           Esus2   B/D#
I lost you in the edifice
B       F#sus4         Esus2    B/D#
When I offered up the evidence
B            F#sus4         Esus2       B/D#
The boy from space couldn’t help himself
B               F#sus4            Esus2
He thought he’d found her at the precipice


Pre-chorus 2:
         B
She said meet her at the ground
        F#sus4
And he followed her
    Esus2
But when he turned around

He was looking in the eyes of
B                          F#sus4
Some girl that barely even knew him
       Esus2
It was 2019, and he cried while he wrote like
B                 F#sus4
10 more sad songs about her
       Esus2
She was not what he thought

And it wasn’t her fault
     B                  F#sus4
That he believed in the wrong thing
          Esus2
Now he’ll spend the rest of his life screaming:


Chorus:
B
I thought I knew
F#sus4                  Esus2
I thought I knew what a soulmate is

I’m not the groom
                B/D#     B
I’m not the guy that got you
              F#sus4
I hope it works
                        Esus2
I hope you got what you wanted

You wanted, you wanted
            B/D#
You wanted now
B
I thought we had
F#sus4                      Esus2
I thought we had something different

But I’m not the man
           Esus2 B/D#     B
I’m not the man that got you
                  F#sus4
You’re better without me
                  Esus2
So I hope you’re happy

You’re happy, you’re happy
       B/D#
Happy now


Outro:
B
I thought I knew
          F#sus4
Thought I knew what you wanted
Esus2
Thought I got you, I got you
     Esus2 B/D#
But I lost it
B
I thought I knew
      F#sus4
And if I’m being honest
Esus2
Thought I got you, I got you
         Esus2  B
But you got him
