♫ Intro:

C




♫ Verse 1:
C
Sixteen, broke down on Highway 15
C
I messed up my brand new blue jeans
    F                       C
But I just had to figure it out
C

My first heartbreak I could've escaped
C
The kinda guy that scares away
    F                        C
But I just had to figure him out


♫ Chorus:
                F
I guess you had something better to do
F
Somewhere better to be
F
Do you ever miss me?
              C
I was missing you
                  F
Guess you had the same thing happen to you
F
Like it happened to me
F
History just repeats
            Am7
And we both lose
         G              Em                          F
If you'd been around by now we could've clеared the air
                       C        F
But I guess you had to bе there


♫ Verse 2:
             C
Maybe you've taken off to Tennessee
C
It'd be easier if you were proud of me
       F                             C
'Cause I'm still trying to figure it out


♫ Chorus:

                  F
Guess you had the same thing happen to you

Like it happened to me
F

Am                       D
To know what I was going through

Maybe I could've helped you
