C Am Em D

[Verse 1]
C            D        
You cut your hair, you
                 G
 dried your tears
         Em
You look happier than ever
C               D        
And I hear he’s nice and 
               G
treats you well
            Em
I wish that I had loved 
you better

[Pre-Chorus]
C                    Am   
‘Cause it feels like I’ll
                   Em
 never get over you
                 D
And I don’t know what
 I’m supposed to do

[Chorus]
      C
So, I stay out late with
 all your friends
                       
And I get so drunk that
   D
 I pretend
       Em                
That I don’t miss all the
                     G
 good things that we had
         C
‘Cause I heard you found 
somebody else
                      
And it breaks my heart
     D
 and hurts like hell
         Em              
‘Cause I know that I will
               G
 never get you back                      
Wish that I could make
         C Am
 you sad
                          Em   D
Wish that I could make you sad
