Csus, C, Cmaj7, Am:
Csus, C, Cmaj7:

Verse 1:

      CsusCsus
I put on my make up
C majorC
Spray my perfume
      Cmaj7Cmaj7    A minorAm
Sat on the front porch, waitin' on you
       CsusCsus          C majorC  Cmaj7Cmaj7
Said we would catch up because it had been awhile
        CsusCsus
I hate to admit it
         C majorC
But my hands are shaking
    Cmaj7Cmaj7
Barely breathin'
   A minorAm
Heart is racin'
      CsusCsus      C majorC          Cmaj7Cmaj7
Looks like feelings don't always change their minds

  CsusCsus       C majorC
But you never called, never showed up
   Cmaj7Cmaj7    A minorAm
Guess some things never change
  CsusCsus       C majorC
And just like living in a flashback
  Cmaj7Cmaj7
You let me down again

Chorus 1:

        CsusCsus        C majorC
That's why the past should be the past
Cmaj7Cmaj7        A minorAm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
    CsusCsus       C majorC
Let the memories burn and crash
        Cmaj7Cmaj7
'Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
    CsusCsus       C majorC
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
   Cmaj7Cmaj7            A minorAm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
  CsusCsus        C majorC        Cmaj7Cmaj7
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye

The first time

Csus, C, Cmaj7, Am:

Verse 2:

       CsusCsus
I should know better
      C majorC
I hate that I still cry
        Cmaj7Cmaj7       A minorAm
Lookin' like a fool here watchin' for headlights
  CsusCsus      C majorC          Cmaj7Cmaj7
And kickin' myself for believin' in you again
       CsusCsus       C majorC
I bet you're out drinkin' with a new blonde and
    Cmaj7Cmaj7         A minorAm
Telling her whatevers playin' is her song
     CsusCsus      C majorC        Cmaj7Cmaj7
Yeah and helping her up into your Chevy instead

CsusCsus     C majorC
Even when you don't have me
    Cmaj7Cmaj7      A minorAm
You can still be the one to hurt me
  CsusCsus       C majorC
It must feel good to know
        Cmaj7Cmaj7
That I'm still holdin' on to letting go

Chorus 2:

        CsusCsus        C majorC
That's why the past should be the past
Cmaj7Cmaj7        A minorAm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
    CsusCsus       C majorC
Let the memories burn and crash
        Cmaj7Cmaj7
'Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
    CsusCsus       C majorC
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
   Cmaj7Cmaj7            A minorAm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
  CsusCsus        C majorC        Cmaj7Cmaj7
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye

Chorus 3:

        CsusCsus        C majorC
That's why the past should be the past
Cmaj7Cmaj7        A minorAm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
    CsusCsus       C majorC
Let the memories burn and crash
 Cmaj7Cmaj7
'Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
    CsusCsus       C majorC
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
   Cmaj7Cmaj7            A minorAm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
  CsusCsus        C majorC        Cmaj7Cmaj7
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye

      CsusCsus
So now I'm letting you go
C majorC            Cmaj
Just like I should have tried

The first Time
