Verse 1:
Gb              Ab
Put my hair up, did my make up
Bbm                                 Ab
15 minutes in the mirror 'cause you said
     Gb                              Ab                  Bbm Ab
That tonight was the night you were gonna be back in town
Gb               Ab
A little nervous, it'??s been a while since
Bbm                                   Ab      Gb
The day you left and we didn't but we almost did
         Ab                        Bbm
And it's all that I can think about


Pre-Chorus:
Ab           Gb
You said the band goes on tonight
Ab         Bbm
You had me high on butterflies
Ab              Gb                       Ab
Then I saw the girl standing by your side
        Eb
Had to smile so I wouldn'??t cry


Chorus:
   Gb
And I don't know what hurts the worst
Ab
Me alone or you with her
    Bbm                          Ab             Db
Or all the time I wasted on the things we never were
       Gb
Or the way her hand was in your hand
        Ab
Like I wanted mine to be
    Bbm                               Ab
Or standing in the brand new dress I bought
   Db                             Gb  Ab  Bbm  Ab
'Cause I thought it was gonna be me


Verse 2:
Gb                  Ab
I try to sneak out, felt like such a fool
Bbm                                     Ab
You came running, said "It's so good to see you
 Gb                    Ab                          Bbm
Meet my girl, yeah, I think you're gonna get along"
Ab            Gb                   Ab
Well I had to sit there and be polite
            Bbm
I wanted to hate her but she's so damn nice
Db             Gb                        Ab
She made you happy, I could see in your eyes
         Eb                   Db
Had to smile so I wouldn't cry


Chorus:
   Gb
And I don't know what hurts the worst
Ab
Me alone or you with her
   Bbm                           Ab              Db
Or all the time I wasted on the things we never were
       Gb
Or the way her hand was in your hand
        Ab
Like I wanted mine to be
     Bbm                             Ab
Or standing in the brand new dress I bought

Shoulda kissed ya, shoulda kissed ya
