I kept looking for a tab for this song, and one hasn't popped up. So, I gave it a shot 
I think it's right but you can never tell. Revisions are welcome.
Second Option
By Thad Cockrell and Caitlin Cary
GI donC’t wanna be your second option
GI donC’t wanna be your after thought
GI donC’t wanna know the plans you make
GIf thCey're not with me then call 'em off
GcaCll 'em off
CI’ve Ambeen alone on Sunday, baby
CI’ve Dbeen alone on a Monday
CI’ve Ambeen alone too many days baby
CDon’t you ever doubt it
DWhen I can learn to live without it
IG’ll be gone
GGonCe
I don’t wanna know where you'll be going
I don’t wanna see what clothes you wear
I don’t wanna hear the full you make
If it’s not for me then I don’t care
I don’t care
I’ve been alone on Sunday, baby
I’ve been alone on a Monday
I’ve been alone too many days baby
Don’t you ever doubt it
When I can learn to live without it
I’ll be gone
Gone
Gone
AmThe lCeaves on the trees are lonely
AmThe Dstars wanna shine
AmIf yCou don’t care let go of me
AmToo Dcruel to be kind
AmCrueDl to be kind
I don’t wanna hang on your pretty hook
I don’t wanna wait another day
I’m the biggest fish in your shallow water
Always be the one who got away
Got away
I’ve been alone on Sunday, baby
I’ve been alone on a Monday
I’ve been alone too many days baby
Don’t you ever doubt it
When I can learn to live without it
I‘ll be gone
Gone
Gone
I’ve been alone on Sunday, baby
I’ve been alone on a Monday
