[Intro]
                        C
Never mind, let's break up

[Verse 1]
C
We watch the waves crash
 from my living room
        Am
But you got over that
       F
 after a month or two
C
Sick of the beach so
 we flew to New York
       Am
And we partied all night
         F
 but you still say you’re bored

[Chorus]
   C
You pick another fight,
 tryna find another
thing wrong with us
     Am
I was down to let it slide
                         F
‘cause you get a little mean
 when you drink too much
    C
Girl can you name a time
 I didn’t go and get you
 everything you want?
     Am
Nah, thought about giving
you one more chance
                        C
Never mind, let’s break up
                        Am  F
Never mind, let’s break up

[Verse 2]
C
When you’re upset
I end up on the couch
      Am
And I feel like a
            F
stranger inside my own house
  C
I stopped working late and
 I stopped getting high
      Am
And I stopped being me
                  F
 'cause I thought that’s
 what you like

Listen for C – Am – F – C (I – vi – IV – I in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – lah – fah – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
