Chords with lyrics

Enjoy! :D

Capo 1

       G+G
I put on my make up
     D MajorD
Spray my perfume
      A augmentedA          B minorBm
Sat on the front porch, waitin' on you
        G+G            D MajorD    A augmentedA
Said we would catch up because it had been a while
      G+G
I hate to admit it
         D MajorD
But my hands are shaking
     A augmentedA
Barely breathin'
     B minorBm
Heart is racin'
       G+G          D MajorD       A augmentedA
Looks like feelings don't always change their minds

   G+G            D MajorD
But you never called, never showed up
    A augmentedA         B minorBm
Guess somethings never change
   G+G           D MajorD       A augmentedA
And just like living in a flashback, you let me down again

        G+G         D MajorD
That's why the past should be the past
 A augmentedA            B minorBm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
     G+G         D MajorD
Let the memories burn and crash
    A augmentedA              B minorBm
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
     G+G        D MajorD
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
   A augmentedA              B minorBm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
   G+G             D MajorD     A augmentedA
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
      B minorBm
The first time

       G+G
I should know better
        D MajorD
I hate that I still cry
        A augmentedA           B minorBm
Lookin' like a fool here watchin' for headlights
   G+G          D MajorD         A augmentedA
And kickin' myself for believin' in you again
         G+G       D MajorD
I bet you're out drinkin' with a new blonde and
     A augmentedA           B minorBm
Telling her whatever's playin' is her song
      G+G       D MajorD         A augmentedA
Yeah and helping her up into your Chevy instead

 G+G          D MajorD
Even when you don't have me
     A augmentedA         B minorBm
You can still be the one to hurt me
  G+G         D MajorD
It must feel good to know
        A augmentedA
That I'm still holdin' on to letting go

        G+G         D MajorD
That's why the past should be the past
 A augmentedA            B minorBm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
     G+G         D MajorD
Let the memories burn and crash
    A augmentedA              B minorBm
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
     G+G        D MajorD
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
   A augmentedA              B minorBm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
   G+G             D MajorD     A augmentedA
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
      B minorBm
The first time


        G+G         D MajorD
That's why the past should be the past
 A augmentedA            B minorBm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
     G+G         D MajorD
Let the memories burn and crash
    A augmentedA              B minorBm
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
     G+G        D MajorD
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
   A augmentedA              B minorBm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
   G+G             D MajorD     A augmentedA
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
     G+G          D MajorD          A augmentedA
So I'm letting you go, just like I should have tried
     B minorBm
The first time
