CAPO 2
[Verse]
GI know I said I loved you but I'm thinking I was wrong,
I'm the fBmirst to admit that I'Emm still pretty young,
and I nAmever meant to hurt you when I wrDote you ten love songs.
Gbut a guy that I could never get 'cause his girlfriend was pretty fit
and eveBmryone who knew her lEmoved her so.
and I mAmade you leave her for me and nDow I'm feeling pretty mean,
but my Bmmind has fucked me over more times than any Emman could ever kAmnow.D  
EmMaybe I should give up, gAmive in
Dgive up trying to be tGhin,
Emgive up and turn into my mAmother,
Dgod knows I love hGer.
[Chorus]
Gand I'm sorry to whBmich ever man should mAmeet my sorry staDte,
Gwatch my steady loBmnesome gait and beAmware.D  
GI would never love a man 'cause love anBmd pain go hand in hand
Amand I can't do it agDain.
[Verse]
GSo we stayed up late one night, to tEmry and get our problems right,
BmBut I couldnt get into his head just whEmat was going through my mind,
AmAnd I think he knew where I was going, he Dput Bryan Adams on
GI think he thinks it makes me weak but it only ever makes me strong,
BmI've got this friend and he sounds just lEmike him,
AmAnd he's the man I'd leave you for, the Dman that I just adore like you.G  
GThe same man he turns to me, said "I've got to tell you how I feel,
BmIf god could make the perfect girl for Emme it would be you."
AmAnd my god told me not tell about how mDuch do you love your fella.
BmI don't know more every dEmay
AmNot in this Dnew romantic wGay.
