[Intro]
C C Am C C Am Em F G C
[Verse]
Well ever sCince you went away I've been a mess inside
And there's nAmothing you could do to get me sCatisfied
And my hCeart's turned against me and it Amwon't abEmide
But I dFon't really miss her like I mGiss my pCride
C C
Well there's a wCeight on my back and there's a thorn in my side
There's a stAmone in my chest where my hCeart should reside
And peace of mind is more than even Amshe could provEmide
But I dFon't want her back like I wGant my prCide
[Chorus]
Well I kFnow I'll find another
I know we wasn't meCant for each other
But oFh, all that lGove in vCain
She was so quFick to recover
Was I just some tCwo-bit lover?
If she would sFuffer she would eGase my pCain
C C Am C C Am Em F G C
[Verse]
Well in Cno time flat she found a faster ride
She took the fAmirst good looker and she Copened wide
While I've been suffering alone in the gAmreat diEmvide
But I dFon't really need her like I nGeed my prCide
C C
Well I drCive by her house to see his bike outside
And I drAmeam every night it's someone eClse's bride
But if I tell you she's the one then you Amknow I've liEmed
'Cause I doFn't really love her like I lGove my prCide
[Chorus]
Well I kFnow I'll find another
I know we wasn't meCant for each other
But oFh, all that lGove in vCain
She was so quFick to recover
Was I just some tCwo-bit lover?
If she would sFuffer she would eGase my pCain

[Intro]

C C Am C C Am Em F G C

[Verse]

Well ever since you went away I've been a mess inside

Am C

And there's nothing you could do to get me satisfied

C Am Em

And my heart's turned against me and it won't abide

F G C

But I don't really miss her like I miss my pride

C C

Well there's a weight on my back and there's a thorn in my side

Am C

There's a stone in my chest where my heart should reside

Am Em

And peace of mind is more than even she could provide

F G C

But I don't want her back like I want my pride

[Chorus]

Well I know I'll find another

I know we wasn't meant for each other

F G C

But oh, all that love in vain

She was so quick to recover

Was I just some two-bit lover?

F G C

If she would suffer she would ease my pain

C C Am C C Am Em F G C

[Verse]

Well in no time flat she found a faster ride

Am C

She took the first good looker and she opened wide

Am Em

While I've been suffering alone in the great divide

F G C

But I don't really need her like I need my pride

C C

Well I drive by her house to see his bike outside

Am C

And I dream every night it's someone else's bride

Am Em

But if I tell you she's the one then you know I've lied

F G C

'Cause I don't really love her like I love my pride

[Chorus]

Well I know I'll find another

I know we wasn't meant for each other

F G C

But oh, all that love in vain

She was so quick to recover

Was I just some two-bit lover?

F G C

If she would suffer she would ease my pain

[Outro]
