***Always keep your index finger near the B string***
   ***These are the chords for the whole song***

****Also I'm Not Exactly sure the chords hit that exact spot where I put 
them on, its just to give you an idea where they are. You have to 
listen carefully to get it rite*** 


Intro/Verse:

           C                  G
Girl, I've been thinking a lot

         C              C     G
about who we could have been

   C
if i was back home

        G                 C             C
just chilling with you and all my friends

  E        A      A
But dear I'm gone

       G         C      C  
and that's the lousy truth

  G            C
For the past 3 years  

     G            C        C  
I swear I've been a better man

        G           C
than who Ive become

     G                 C           C
i know i know i know I let you down


 E          A        A
But I've been gone

   G            C   G  
for too damn long


Chorus:

G/C   G/C    G/C    G/C  
So if you go away


 G/C     G/C       G/C          G/C  
right now that i can't guarantee

     C   E      A        A     C
that i won't break your heart

 G/C       G/C        G/C      G/C   
But if you go stay then baby

     G/C        G/C                C       E     A    A
That i will hope and pray that you would run away

    C       E     A       A  
Cause dear it breaks my heart

  G        C
to see you here


***then just repeat the Intro,Verse,& Chorus for the other half of the       
   lyrics***


So shine outward, not inward
you've been a selfish little girl
for the past 3 years
I've been through more than you can know
and God I don't want you to know

But I have been through
cause you just wouldn't understand
you're just a girl with some issues
as bad as it might sound

But you're the girl who's been driving me mad

So if you go away
then know that i can't guarantee
that i won't break your heart
But if you go stay then baby
That i will hope and pray that you would run away
Cause dear breaks my heart
to see you here

So go to school in Chicago
find a new boy, a new life
a whole new set of friends
Cause all that I've ever do is break your heart
and dear it breaks my heart
to see you here

And dear it breaks my heart
to see you here

But just so you know...

I've been thinking a lot of
who we could have been
if i was back home
just chilling with you and all my friends

But dear I'm gone
and that's the lousy truth.
