(Verse 1)
CI'm done wondering where you've been
All Gnight long when you're out with your friends
All Amyou say, that the matter's over

CI'm done trusting you it's ended

CYou should've Gwhen you Amcould'veF  
You're gonna Cmiss my love, Ggirl

It ain't my fault you don't know a good thing
You could've been my only one
But now your chance is gone

C G Am F

Intro:--- 2x

(Verse 1)

I'm done wondering where you've been

All night long when you're out with your friends

All you say, that the matter's over

But now that chapter's over

I'm done trusting you it's ended

Even after I catch you red handed

You could've been my only one

But now your chance is gone

(Chorus)

C G Am F

You should've when you could've

C G

You're gonna miss my love, girl

Am F

You should, it would've been so good

C G Am F

You should've when I would've

Now I know I've had enough. Had enough

Better luck next time, girl

Am F

You should, it would've been so good

C G Am F
