Intro: G D Am C

  G
I called you something terrible
  D
Told you not to call
  Am
Held you like I didn't care
  C
While you tried not to fall and I
  G
Done you wrong, I know the song
  D
And I know how it ends
    Am                                 C
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry you're my best friend
    G
Watched you drive away
  D
Even wave goodbye
  Am
And I was fine with everything I said
  C
When I got back inside
  G
I was confronted by this heartache
      D                     Am
And I know exactly why - and what I'll do
                       C
Gonna treat you like I want somebody else to.

CHORUS:
 G        C            D
I'm gonna be a better man
Than the one I was last night
 G         C            D
I'm gonna show you who I am
I'm swallowing my pride
Em                           C
I know right now you think I'm just another waste of time
Em         D        C
I'm gonna prove you wrong, no lie
         C                 D         G
Say goodbye to the old me, hello Mr. Right


This world has been a whirlwind
Driving blind and dodging trains
And I was scared and you were scared and we were both scared of the same thing
I want to see you out, put on that old dress
I need to get you in the candlelight of an old Italian restaurant
Your eyes bring out the room , babe
Go ahead, it's safe to assume
It's safe to assume

CHORUS

  Em                     Am
Didn't mean to leave you out
        C           D
Just to remove any doubt......

CHORUS

*Side Note*
   -When I tabbed this song, I capo-ed the third fret to try and get more of the high
is heard on the mandolin.  It stays in the key of G.  The only change is that the G is
in an "E-major formation" and the C is played in an "A-major formation".  The change 
the open sounding chords to ring, like the mandolin.  Of course, all of the other chords
be played as bar chords (which I think Benjy does in some of the song anyway, but 
at the Chorus E-minor walk-down part) There was a diminished chord at the end of the bridge 
I couldn't quite get (probably because of my capo set-up) but the C fills in decently.
