1. The same bed, but it feels just a little bit bigger now.
2. My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways.

   G                G7               C                Em/B
  +=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
   Our song on the radio, but it don't sound the same.
   Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out' my life.

  *Am               C                Dm               %
  +=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
   When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down.
   Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, oh.

   G                %                C                Em/B
  +=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
   Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name.
   And it haunts me every time I close my eyes.



1.& 2.Pre-Chorus:
   Am               %                Dm               %
  +=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
   It all just sounds like: ooh

   Bb               %                Gsus4            G (break)
  +=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
   mm, too young, too dumb to realize that I should have bought you



1.& 2.Chorus:
   F                G                C                %
  +=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
   flowers and held your hand. Should have give you all my

   F                G                C                %
  +=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
   hours, when I had the chance. Taken you to every

   F                G                Am               D7
  +=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
   party, cause all you wanted to do was dance. Now my baby's

   F                Fm 
  +=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
   dancing but she's dancing with another man.
