[Verse 1: Lauren]
DOur phone calls got shorter
DAnd the nights they got longer
BmYou stopped replying
GAnd I saw you with her
DYou tell me you miss me
DI feel special for a second
BmBut then you turn around and show me
Gthat you didn't mean it
[Bridge: Lisa]
DI listen to your voicemail from Glast September
DI bet that you Gdon't remember Dleaving it
GBut it's all I got
BmMy last piece of Gyou
[Chorus: All]
BmMaybe sometimes Gthings just have to DendA  
BmMaybe sometimes Gthere's just no explaining Dit A  
Whoa-Goh DBut you could'vBme let F#mme know 
You'd be Gmoving Don beBmfore OcAtobers Dgone
[Verse 2: Dani]
DI heard all the rumors
DI didn't want to believe it
BmYou barely mentioned her once
GI didn't think anything of it
[All]
DSitting there on my driveway
DSaid you could listen to me all night
BmNow you're the boy who never meant it
And I'm just the Ggirl who "took it all the wrong way"
[Bridge: Christina]
DNow I'm lost here It's Gmid-December
DAnd you made it ofGficial with her
DI was naive, you never Gwanted me
BmTell me why'd you Gdo this to Bmme?
[Chorus: All]
BmMaybe sometimes Gthings just have to DenAd
BmMaybe sometimes Gthere's just no explaining Dit A  
Whoa-Goh DBut you could'vBme let mF#me know 
You'd be Gmoving Don beBmfore OcAtobers Dgone
[Interlude: Katherine]
DOn that October night when I let you Ago
AYou didn't even try to make me stay, Bmno
BmI didn't know that you could be so Gcold
GLike the Minnesota Dsnow
[Interlude: Amy]
DSomehow I always knew we'd end up this Away
AAnd I hope you feel happy Bmsomeday
BmI just wanted you to open up to Gme
GBut now that's on the list of things you never did
