             C
    I can't say it's nice to meet you

    Or that I ever wanted to

But you took him for granted
    Em
You didn't understand him
F                                      G
I don't think you can 'cause you're a fool

    He was yours to hold

    With a heart as pure as gold

    Full of love you could've seen if you weren't blind
C
    And for the life of me

    Lord knows I just can't see

    Why he stayed with you all that time
