[Intro]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9

[Verse 1]
                             G      
She said I never thought I'd see
 him,
  Cadd9
 hanging on this side of town
             G            
Must've been bout' a year,
     Cadd9
 yea boy look at you now
                  Em7             
I heard you got a new job, things
                     D
 are looking up, just like I
  thought they would 
            Cadd9
I said it's all good

[Chorus]
Cadd9
But you should see the other guy,
 that's missin' you
                                
Late at night, he's wishing you,
 Em7
 could come back home
        D
Girl he can't move on
        Cadd9
And his heart still takes a beatin',
 just living with your leaving
       Em7                  D     Cadd9
Girl it might look like I'm doing alright
                             G    Cadd9
But you should see the other guy

[Verse 2]
              G                
Yea as far as everyone can see,
            Cadd9
 things are looking up these days
                       G          
Never let them see the side of me,
          Cadd9
 only the one that's got it made
                   Em7           
Doing everything I know to do, to
                 D
 keep the truth, running through my mind
              Cadd9
But I'm doing just fine.
