Intro Bm - G - Em - Bm Em

Bm
 Woke up, but you're back in my bed
G
 We broke up, How'd this happen again?
Em
 I always end up lettin' you in
       Bm             Em
 When I start drinkin' not thinkin'
Bm
 I should've listened to all of my friends
G
 Same road and the same dead end
Em
 I'm lovin' while she pretends
     Bm            Em
 So I keep drinkin' not thinkin'

G
 First love is hard enough
 Em
 Even worse to give it up
   Bm
 I can't forget her when she's gone
                              Em
 But she can't leave when I'm holdin' on

    G          A
 So what can I say?
   Bm            A           G            A
 I made a mistake this time, you'll never change
        Bm                        A
 You're nothin' but trouble and I should've known better
      G          A
 It's always the same
 Bm             A               G          A
 I'll take the blame this time, I'll never change
        Bm                        A
 You're nothin' but trouble and I should've known better
Em
 Girl, I should've know better

Bm
 Every time that I start to forget
   G
 I drive by the spot where we first met
     Em
 You had nothin' on underneath that dress,
        Bm            Em
 We were just drinkin' not thinkin'
 Bm
 Just two kids, it was way too soon,
    G
 We didn't realize what we had to lose,
 Em
 No way to know we wouldn't make it through,
Bm                Em
 Didn't know we'd end up sinking

G
 First love is hard enough
 Em
 Even worse to give it up
   Bm
 I can't forget her when she's gone
                              Em
 But she can't leave when I'm holdin' on

    G          A
 So what can I say?
   Bm            A           G            A
 I made a mistake this time, you'll never change
        Bm                        A
 You're nothin' but trouble and I should've known better
      G          A
 It's always the same
 Bm             A               G          A
 I'll take the blame this time, I'll never change
        Bm                        A
 You're nothin' but trouble and I should've known better

Bm
 Keep leaving me with nothin'
G
 Someday I'll learn my lesson
D                          Em
 Right now I'm losing this fight
Bm
 Lust ain't the same as trusting
G
 Can't figure out this loving
D                          Em
 Guess it ain't happening tonight
