[Verse 1]
  Ab
I got a lack of
good judgement
Cm
Judging by the fact
               Eb  G
I got close to you
Ab
Time should heal,
but it doesn't
   Cm
Or maybe 'cause you still
                  Eb   G
 haven't told the truth

[Pre-Chorus]
         Ab
You know there's nothing
            Cm
 worse than missing
the signs
       Eb
'Cause you pulled the wool
        G
right over your eyes
       Ab
I'll admit when I'm wrong,
      Cm
 but this time I'm right
    Eb
I'm sorry, but I'll
       G
never see your side

[Chorus]
                Ab
Said she was a "girl's
girl",
          Cm
 that's a lie
                Eb
Said she had my back,
                  Gm
but she had the knife
                    Ab
I could never do it once
                Cm
and she did it twice
                Eb
And you wonder why, and
             Gm
you wonder why we're
      Ab   Cm
 not alike
           Eb
We're not alike
Gm
   We're not alike

[Verse 2]
        Ab
Told me him and
I would look so good
   Cm
So when did you decide
                Eb    G
you want him instead?
    Ab
No, I'm not saying I'm petty
    Cm
But that's not saying
                    Eb  G
that you're so innocent
