[Intro]
G Am Em7 D

[Verse 1]
G                   
Feels like we drove 
                Am     Em7
for a thousand miles
          G                
I would play you the songs 
             Am     Em7
that I wrote about you
         D             
I would sing you words 
                  C
that I would never say
             D          
Wish you'd never heard, 
          G              C
if I'd known you wouldn't stay

[Chorus]
                D          Em  
I don't wanna know if you fall 
 D   G              C
in love with someone new
                     Em  D   
If someone makes you happier 
G                C
than I could ever do
I don't wanna know

[Break]
G Am Em7 D

[Verse 2]
G                            Am   Em7
Watching the stories upon my phone
G                    
Seems like you found 
             Am   Em7
the one you want
               D           
And it just breaks me down 
                      C
like the car we used to own
            D             
Where our love was found, 
                          C
have you forgot about it all

[Chorus]
                           Em  
I don't wanna know if you fall 
D   G                  C
in love with someone new
                      Em  D  
If someone makes you happier 
G                  C
than I could ever do
                  Em D G C
I don't wanna know
                  Em D G C
I don't wanna know

If you fall in love with someone new
                      G      
If someone makes you happier 
                  C
than I could ever do
                 Em7 
If he makes you cry, 
                   D
if he makes you laugh
                  G            
If he gives you all the things 
                      C
that we could never have
      Em  D    G         C
Cause I can't face the truth

If he makes you cry, 
                  D
if he makes you laugh
                 G             
If he gives you all the things 
                      C
that we could never have
      Em  D    G            C
Cause I can't face losing you
