1. The same bed, but it feels just a little bit bigger now.
2. My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways.
[G] [G7] [C] [Em/B]
+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
Our song on the radio, but it don't sound the same.
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out' my life.
*Am C Dm %
+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down.
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, oh.
G % C Em/B
+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name.
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes.
1.& 2.Pre-Chorus:
Am % Dm %
+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
It all just sounds like: ooh

mm, too young, too dumb to realize that I should have bought you
1.& 2.Chorus:
F G C %
+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
flowers and held your hand. Should have give you all my
F G C %
+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
hours, when I had the chance. Taken you to every
[F] [G] [Am] [D7]
+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
party, cause all you wanted to do was dance. Now my baby's
[F] [Fm]
+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
dancing but she's dancing with another man.

wrong!
