Intro:
B, Asus2, G, F#m, B, Asus2, Em
Verse:
B                        G
Thought that I was in control
           F#m                       Asus2
And in my mind you were mine, what did I know?
B                          G
I didn't listen when they said
               F#m                   Asus2
That you were fake, manipulating boys to bed
Pre Chorus:
     Em
I thought they had you wrong
                 Asus2
The morning you were gone
Chorus:
          B           Asus2
Everytime I see your face
          G            F#m
I can see the games you play
          B             Asus2
Nobody can break hearts better
Em
Why do you have to be so damn clever?
B         Asus2
Turns you on
            D            Em
Always getting what you want
            G
Made me believe that we'd be together
Em                            Asus2
Why do you have to be so damn clever?
Intro:
B, Asus2, G, F#m, B, Asus2, Em
Verse 2:
B                      G
We were over from the start
F#m                               Asus2
Intertwined just in time to fall apart (fall apart)
B                             G
I can't believe I missed the signs
F#m                                        Asus2
You were cold and they all told me not to try
Pre Chorus:
                            Em
But I thought they had you wrong
                     Asus2
The morning you were gone
                     Em
Just vanished from my life
                    Asus2
Didn't even say goodbye
Chorus:
          B           Asus2
Everytime I see your face
          G            F#m
I can see the games you play
          B             Asus2
Nobody can break hearts better
Em
Why do you have to be so damn clever?
B         Asus2
Turns you on
            D            Em
Always getting what you want
            G
Made me believe that we'd be together
Em                            Asus2
Why do you have to be so damn clever?
Bridge:
D  Em   Asus2
        You pulled all the right strings
G  Asus2  Em
         Saying all the right things
Bb               C                D               Em        Asus2
Now that you've gotten what you wanted you don't want it anymore
Chorus:
          B           Asus2
Everytime I see your face
          G            F#m
I can see the games you play
          B             Asus2
Nobody can break hearts better
Em
Why do you have to be so damn clever?
B         Asus2
Turns you on
            D            Em
Always getting what you want
            G
Made me believe that we'd be together
Em                            Asus2
Why do you have to be so damn clever?
B    Asus2
Oooooh

Why do you have to be so damn clever?
B    Asus2
Oooooh
Em
Why do you have to be so damn clever?
B    Asus2     Em
Oooooh
G
Made me believe that we would be together
Em                       Asus2
Why do you have to be so damn clever?
