[Intro]

C D Am Am

[Verse 1]

You never know, never know, never know

What you had until it's gone

I thought that for sure you'd stay the night

Am C

But I guess you still needed time

I didn't know, didn't know, didn't know

It would hurt 'til you were gone

I thought that we were just having fun

Didn't know you could be the one

[Pre-Chorus]

Am C

You got the best of me

My arrogance took hold

And made me blind to see

To see you differently

Always thought that you'd come back

Am D

But I guess I got cocky

D Am

I got a little too cocky

[Chorus]

Am C

Had you wrapped around my finger

Made believe we were in love

Took advantage of the fantasy

And ran off with your trust

Now all of it has turned around

And I'm the one who's lost

Got too cocky

I got a little too cocky, yeah

[Instrumental]

C D Em G

C D Am Am

[Verse 2]

I couldn't tell that I slipped and I fell

'Til I woke up in a daze

Fiending for something, got the shakes

Repeating the lines I couldn't say

And from the day that you turned me away

There's a bitter I still taste

Don't know if I'll ever turn the page

I may be an addict to the chase

[Pre-Chorus]

Am C

You got the best of me

My arrogance took hold

Em G

And made me blind to see

To see you differently

Always thought that you'd come back

But I guess I got cocky

I got a little too cocky

[Chorus]

G C

Had you wrapped around my finger

Made believe we were in love

Took advantage the fantasy

And ran off with your trust

Now all of it is turned around

I'm the one who's lost

Got too cocky

I got a little too cocky, yeah

[Instrumental]

C D Em G

[Bridge]

G Am

You had me under pressure

Didn't need no lecture

Said you needed answers

G Am

Didn't wanna waste your time

Oh, oh

Am D

Now you don't wanna waste mine

[Chorus]

D C

Had you wrapped around my finger

Made believe we were in love

Took advantage the fantasy

And ran off with your trust

Now all of it is turned around

I'm the one who's lost

Got too cocky

I got a little too cocky, yeah

[Outro]

You had me under pressure

Didn't need no lecture

Said you needed answers

G Am

Didn't wanna waste your time

D Em

Oh, oh

I got a little too cocky

Am Em

Yeah, yeah
