G                                  D7
Just walk on out the door it's all over
                                 G
Forgiving you is just a waste of time
                                  D7
I don't believe that I'll live to regret it
      C                      D7               G
Cause you're ancient history to this heart of mine
                                      D7
So many times I've heard the same ole story
                                       G
Any fool can learn to read between the lines
                                           D7
And this time honey you've burned all your bridges
       C               D7               G
You're ancient history to this heart of mine
     C                               G
I've marked you down as just another lonely page
                                            D7
In the book of heartaches that you'll leave behind
      G                             D7
Cause I've found out I'm better off without you
       C               D7               G
You're ancient history to this heart of mine
     C                               G
I've marked you down as just another lonely page
                                            D7
In the book of heartaches that you'll leave behind
      G                             D7
Cause I've found out I'm better off without you
       C               D7               G
You're ancient history to this heart of mine
