Intro
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em7 D G
My Gsheets still smell like your perfume
On the side of the Em7bed where Dyou used to Glay.
Left your Gkey and a torn paper note;
In blue ink, "I'm Em7sorry" Dwas all you could Gsay.
     G7But I will be Call Gright
Yes I will be Cadd9all    Gright. 
And I Cadd9hope that he's Gwith you 
Cadd9Holding you Gtight
But I Em7hope you're Dlonely toGnight.
Interlude
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em7 D G
I Gtry not to think about you
But I'm Em7scared that DI might forGget.
As the Gclothes you left piled on the floor
Wait like Em7memories DI can't throw aGway. 
     G7But I will be Call Gright
Yes I will be Cadd9all    Gright. 
And I Cadd9hope that he's Gwith you 
Cadd9Holding you Gtight
But I Em7hope you're Dlonely toGnight.
     G7So toCnight when I Glay my head Ddown
Without the Ctrue love I Gthought I had Dfound
I'll preCtend that I Gdon't love Dyou anyAmmore....if I Dcan
     DBut I will be Cadd9all    Gright
Yes I will be Cadd9all    Gright. 
And I Cadd9hope that he's Gwith you 
Cadd9Holding you Gtight
But I Em7hope you're Dlonely toGnight.
(Optional outro verse)
    GBut I still wish I Cadd9was the one Gwith you
That Cadd9you're holding Gtight
So I Em7wouldn't be Dlonely toGnight

Intro

Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em7 D G

My sheets still smell like your perfume

Em7 D G

On the side of the bed where you used to lay.

In blue ink, "I'm sorry" was all you could say.

G7 C G

But I will be all right

Cadd9 G

Yes I will be all right.

And I hope that he's with you

Cadd9 G

Holding you tight

Em7 D G

But I hope you're lonely tonight.

Interlude

Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em7 D G

I try not to think about you

But I'm scared that I might forget.

As the clothes you left piled on the floor

Em7 D G

Wait like memories I can't throw away.

G7 C G

But I will be all right

Cadd9 G

Yes I will be all right.

Cadd9 G

And I hope that he's with you

Cadd9 G

Holding you tight

Em7 D G

But I hope you're lonely tonight.

G7 C G D

So tonight when I lay my head down

C G D

Without the true love I thought I had found

C G D Am D

I'll pretend that I don't love you anymore....if I can

D Cadd9 G

But I will be all right

Cadd9 G

Yes I will be all right.

And I hope that he's with you

Holding you tight

Em7 D G

But I hope you're lonely tonight.

(Optional outro verse)

But I still wish I was the one with you
