1st Verse

N/C
Today was the worst day I went through hell
I wish I could remove it from my mind
Two months away from you but I couldn't tell
I thought that everything was gonna be just fine


Pre-Chorus
    C#5                              A5
The postcard that you wrote with the stupid little note
E5                           B5
Something wasn't quite right about it
   C#5                
It smelled like cheap perfume
            



			    e|0--|
			    B|-0-|  (play after "you")
       A5                   G|--1|
And it didnt smell like you
E5                          B5
There is no way you can get around it
A5
Because you wrote



Refrain

  E5
I wish you were her
    F#5
You left out the 'E'
    A5
You left without me
    B5
And now you're somewhere out there
       E5
With a bitch, slut, psycho babe
  F#5
I hate you, why are guys so lame
     A5
Everything I gave you
       B5
I want everything back but you


PLAY INTRO ONCE!!!

N/C
My friends tried to tell me all along
That you weren't the right one for me
My friends tried to tell me to be strong
I bet you didnt think that I would see
