[Verse 1]
        C                        C
You're stubborn as they come, you'll never settle down
       F                     C
You'll always be the one who doesn't stick around
C                        Am
You make all the rules, you're set in your ways
    F                            C
You gotta have your freedom, you gotta have your space
[Chorus]
        C                            C
But one day you'll meet the girl you swore you'd never find
      Am
Start feeling things you never felt and spending all your time
F                                             C         G
Trying to figure out how she got this hold on you
    C
And when you start to fall, you'll hold onto your pride
      Am
Start building up your walls and never let her get inside
F                                                      C     G
You'll push her away 'cause that's all you know how to do
                Am                  G              F
And then she'll leave and you won't beg her not to go
             C *intro riff*
Ask me how I know
[Verse 2]
   C                          Am
Go on and shake your head and tell me that I'm wrong
          F                             C
Say, "I'm just another fool and this is just another song"
    C                         Am
But I know how you are 'cause I know how I am
    F                       C
And I'd give anything to go back and try again
[Chorus]
          C                            C
Cause one day you'll meet the girl you swore you'd never find
      Am
Start feeling things you never felt and spending all your time
