ALTERNATIVE WAY. CAPO 7TH FRET
(picking)
GYour blue sweatshirts still laying on my floor
EmCan't pick it up, don't wanna go there no more
CI kick it in the corner hoping it'll disappear
DYour memory is still all around here
GTear down those sticky notes and throw them away
EmEven the one that says "I'll love you always"
C11: 11 will never come true,
DI try so hard but all I do is think of you...
And I said
(Strumming)
GOh darling, why are you lying to me
EmThink back to the way things used to be
CDon't know how you could do something like this
DTraded in forever for a temporary fix
GYeah
(Picking)
GI guess you needed this more then you needed me
EmForgave you twice, oh so desperately
CIt tore me up knowing that I led it slide,
DI kept it all bottled up inside
GYou said you felt something when I held your hand
EmWasn't that a sign I don't understand
CYou don't know how bad I wanted us to last
DIt's sad how love can turn to hate so fast
And I said
(Strumming)
GOh darling, why are you lying to me
EmThink back to the way things used to be
CI can only forgive so many times
DAnd that thought will never leave my mind
GAnd I said, oh darling the nights I spent crying for you
EmYou shined so bright but I watched the dark come through
CTell me how could you do something like this
DTraded in forever for a temporary fix
EmYou went west, aDnd things went south,C  
You gave me everDy reason to doubtEm  
And once it's shattered Dit can never be like knew,C  
CI'm sorry, I can't be with you...D  
Oh and I said…
(Picking)
GOh Ryan, why are you lying to me
(strumming)
EmThink back to the way things used to be
CI can only forgive so many times
DAnd that thought will never leave my mind
GOh Ryan, the nights I spent crying for you
EmYou shined so bright but I watched the dark come through
CTell me how could you do something like this,
DYou traded in forever for a temporary fix

ALTERNATIVE WAY. CAPO 7TH FRET

(picking)

Your blue sweatshirts still laying on my floor

Can't pick it up, don't wanna go there no more

I kick it in the corner hoping it'll disappear

Your memory is still all around here

Tear down those sticky notes and throw them away

Even the one that says "I'll love you always"

11: 11 will never come true,

I try so hard but all I do is think of you...

And I said

(Strumming)

Oh darling, why are you lying to me

Think back to the way things used to be

Don't know how you could do something like this

Traded in forever for a temporary fix

Yeah

(Picking)

I guess you needed this more then you needed me

Forgave you twice, oh so desperately

It tore me up knowing that I led it slide,

I kept it all bottled up inside

You said you felt something when I held your hand

Wasn't that a sign I don't understand

You don't know how bad I wanted us to last

It's sad how love can turn to hate so fast

And I said

(Strumming)

Oh darling, why are you lying to me

Think back to the way things used to be

I can only forgive so many times

And that thought will never leave my mind

And I said, oh darling the nights I spent crying for you

You shined so bright but I watched the dark come through

Tell me how could you do something like this

Traded in forever for a temporary fix

Em D C

You went west, and things went south,

D Em

You gave me every reason to doubt

D C

And once it's shattered it can never be like knew,

C D

I'm sorry, I can't be with you...

Oh and I said…

(Picking)

Oh Ryan, why are you lying to me

(strumming)

Think back to the way things used to be

I can only forgive so many times

And that thought will never leave my mind

Oh Ryan, the nights I spent crying for you

You shined so bright but I watched the dark come through

Tell me how could you do something like this,

You traded in forever for a temporary fix
