[Chorus]
  G             D
I used to lie awake and
        A          Bm
let you occupy my mind
  G                D
I used to put you first and
        A              Bm
always leave myself behind
   G                D
And I'll admit you got real close
   A                  Bm
but I'll be sleeping fine tonight
 G              D            A
Sorry, I don't mean to disappoint
you
    N.C.
It didn't ruin my life
