Verse 1
 
        C                        C 
You're stubborn as they come, you'll never settle down 
       F                     C 
You'll always be the one who doesn't stick around 
C                        Am 
You make all the rules, you're set in your ways 
    F                            C 
You gotta have your freedom, you gotta have your space 
 
Chorus
 
        C                            C 
But one day you'll meet the girl you swore you'd never find 
      Am 
Start feeling things you never felt and spending all your time 
F                                             C         G 
Trying to figure out how she got this hold on you 
    C 
And when you start to fall, you'll hold onto your pride 
      Am 
Start building up your walls and never let her get inside 
F                                                      C     G 
You'll push her away 'cause that's all you know how to do 
                Am                  G              F 
And then she'll leave and you won't beg her not to go 
             C *intro riff* 
Ask me how I know 
 
Verse 2
 
   C                          Am 
Go on and shake your head and tell me that I'm wrong 
          F                             C 
Say, "I'm just another fool and this is just another song" 
    C                         Am 
But I know how you are 'cause I know how I am 
    F                       C 
And I'd give anything to go back and try again

    C 
And when you start to fall, you'll hold onto your pride 
      Am
