The story starts when it was hot and it was Summer
        C                                     G
And, I had it all; I had him right there where I wanted him
Am                                        F
She came along, got him alone, and let’s hear the applause

She took him faster than you can say sabotage
Am                                    F
I never saw it coming, wouldn’t have suspected it
C                             G
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
Am                                                 F
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum

She underestimated just who she was stealing from

Stealing other people’s toys on the playground

C                                            G
She looks at me like I’m a trend and she’s so over it
Am                                        F

C*                                            G*
