Verse 1:
   G                                               Em
Last night I went on a date with a boy who called me Green Eyes
         C                                          Em
'Cause my friends told me I'd feel better after the first time
   G                                               Em
And kissin' someone new would make losing you feel alright
           D
I don't feel alright
   G                                               Em
So I drank all the wine, tried not to cry, and I almost did it
         C                                        Em
Wouldn't let him hold my hand at the bar where you did
    G                                               Em
Then I got drunk enough to take him home and I wish I didn't
          D
I don't feel alright

Chorus:
        C                                    G
'Cause you're gone so why do I feel like a cheater?
                       D
Why do I feel like a liar?
                        G                   D
Why do I feel like my heart is breaking in my chest?
    C                                  G
How long 'til I finally feel like it's over
                       D                     G              Em
Not looking over my shoulder wishing all the other boys were you
              C            D
I shouldn't feel it but I do

Verse 2:
   G                                        Em
We smoked cigarettes and I acted like I liked him
          C                                        Em
And his beard was rough when he kissed me, I didn't like that
   G                                                  Em
I'll never hear that Patty Griffin record without seeing his face
               D
And that's a shame


Chorus:
        C                                    G
'Cause you're gone so why do I feel like a cheater?
                       D
Why do I feel like a liar?
                        G                   D
Why do I feel like my heart is breaking in my chest?
    C                                  G
How long 'til I finally feel like it's over
                       D                     G              Em
Not looking over my shoulder wishing all the other boys were you
              C            D
I shouldn't feel it but I do

Bridge:
         C                       Em
Oh we said goodbye 'cause it wasn't right
        C                            D
And now everything else seems so wrong


Chorus:
        C                                    G
If you're gone so why do I feel like a cheater?
                       D
Why do I feel like a liar?
                        G               D
I still feel like my heart is breaking in my chest
    C                                  G
How long 'til I finally feel like it's over
      Em                    G        Em
I'm wishing all the other boys were you
             C            D
I shouldn't feel it but I do
      C                       D
The whole world gets meaner without you
