Intro
C majorC  E MajorE  A minorAm E5E5

C majorC
When I was your girl
     E MajorE
I didn't know that I would
        A minorAm
end where you begin
            E5E5
more beautiful in your skin
        C majorC
No matter of regret
         E MajorE
this loosening curl
       A minorAm
Teasing you out
         E5E5
When I was your girl

    C majorC            E MajorE         A minorAm
In my room you said we'll stay here for an endless year
      FF             C majorC
Close the door we're letting no one near
         E MajorE  A minorAm
When I was your girl
         E5E5
When I was your girl

      C majorC
And then today
              E MajorE
All the nightmares came my way
              A minorAm
All the tears I tried to stay
          FF
You were never satisfied
         C majorC
When I was your girl
         G+G
When I was your girl

        C majorC
And when I was she
       E MajorE
I'd put on every coat
           A minorAm
To wear the weather down
         E5E5
But even in the sun
           C majorC
You said you tasted rain
         E MajorE
I watched you unfurl
        A minorAm
You held on to me
         E5E5
When I was your girl

    C majorC        E MajorE             A minorAm
In my cups I see you watching from the edge of the bed
       FF          C majorC
I'm sinking words that you never said
         E MajorE  A minorAm
When I was your girl
         E5E5
When I was your girl

      C majorC
And then today
             E MajorE
I'll be keeping out your way
            A minorAm
Every debt they owe I pay
           FF
They were never satisfied
         C majorC
When I was your girl
         G+G
When I was your girl

Bridge : C majorC E MajorE A minorAm FF C majorC G+G

        C majorC
We tore out a page
           E MajorE
Impolitely quit the stage
             A minorAm
Into corners sweep our rage
              FF
I would never leave you crying

         C majorC
When I was your girl
         G+G
When I was your girl
         FF
When I was your girl
