Verse 1:
No you ne[G]ver were one for res[D]ting easy [Em]were ya
So m[C]uch that when they to[G]ld me how you l[D]eft us here behind

Verse 2:
And Iâ??ll dare not let â??em know that now youâ??re gone
How Iâ??ll still be a fool for the way we used to be

As if I traded you for one the way you traded me
â??Cause with your beat up bag and your laced up shoes
You walked right out the door
And I hit the floor
Jet black and jealous

Verse 3:
And I bet by now youâ??re rolling through Pittsburgh
Watching the rain in passing headlights
Still smiling â??bout the choices that you made
Hoping the clouds are breaking up ahead
Skies blue instead of grey
But if you get out there and you find
That itâ??s not what you thought itâ??d be, remember me
Jet black and jealous
Repeat chorus
Yeah if you g[C]et out there and you f[D]ind
That itâ??s not[G] what you t[D]hought itâ[C]??d be, come back[D] to me
Tell me [G]ho[D/F#]w[Em] [D] [C] [G] [D]
Tell me how was I to know
Tell me how was I to know
End: Fade out (I end on a G)
