Same bed, but it feels just a little bit bigger now

That I should’ve bought you flowers and held your hand
F G C
Shoulda gave you all my hours when I had the chance

Take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance

Now my baby’s dancing, but she’s dancing with another man
[Verse 2]
Am C Dm
My pride, my ego, my needs and my selfish ways

Now I’ll never, never get to clean up the mess I made ooh

And that haunts me every time I close my eyes

Oh, I know I’m probably much too late

To try and apologize for my mistakes

I hope he buys you flowers, I hope he holds your hand

Give you all his hours when he has the chance
F G Am
Take you to every party cause I remember how much you love to dance

Do all the things I should’ve done when I was your man

Do all the things I should’ve done when I was your man
