VerseG
I put on my make up
D
Spray my perfume
ABm
Sat on the front porch, waitin' on you
GDA
Said we would catch up because it had been a while
G
I hate to admit it
D
But my hands are shaking
A
Barely breathin'
Bm
Heart is racin'
GDA
Looks like feelings don't always change their minds
GD
But you never called, never showed up
ABm
Guess somethings never change
GDA
And just like living in a flashback, you let me down again
ChorusGD
That's why the past should be the past
ABm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
GD
Let the memories burn and crash
ABm
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
GD
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
ABm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
GDA
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
Bm
The first time
VerseG
I should know better
D
I hate that I still cry
ABm
Lookin' like a fool here watchin' for headlights
GDA
And kickin' myself for believin' in you again
GD
I bet you're out drinkin' with a new blonde and
ABm
Telling her whatever's playin' is her song
GDA
Yeah and helping her up into your Chevy instead
GD
Even when you don't have me
ABm
You can still be the one to hurt me
GD
It must feel good to know
A
That I'm still holdin' on to letting go
ChorusGD
That's why the past should be the past
ABm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
GD
Let the memories burn and crash
ABm
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
GD
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
ABm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
GDA
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
Bm
The first time
GD
That's why the past should be the past
ABm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
GD
Let the memories burn and crash
ABm
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
GD
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
ABm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
GDA
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
GDA
So I'm letting you go, just like I should have tried
Bm
The first time
