I bet that you thought

D
And I've promised strangers it would last
Em
Then I snuck out the bedroom door
D
Yeah, I've been you before
Chorus:
Em G
I knew your first drink was your last
D A
And "hello" meant "goodbye"
Em G
I knew that "see you later" meant
D A
There wouldn't be a next time

So I ain't surprised
Em
You took off runnin'
G D
You didn't get away with nothin'

Em
Felt like startin' a tab

D
From the minute you said my name
