When I'm with my guy and he watches all

the pretty girls go by..(yea, hey, hey.)
        C#      Bbm         Ebm     Ab7
Well, I feel so hurt deep inside, I wish 
             C#         F#   Ab7
that I could die..(yea, hey, hey.)
Bbm             F#  Ab7 Bbm
Not a word do I say.....I just look the

When he treats me rough and he acts 
             Ab7            C#
as though he doesn't really care..
      F#   Ab7
(yea, hey, hey.)
        C#         Bbm      Ebm
Well, I never tell him that he is 
Ab7  C#          F#   Ab7
so unfair. (yea, hey, hey.)
Bbm                     F#   Ab7
Cause he loves me and I know it..
Bbm                     F#   Ab7
But he's just afraid to show it.

(the way boys are.)

Cause I know that soon enough..he will 

come back to me.

When we have a fight, I think that

I won't see him anymore. (yea, hey, hey.)
       C#     Bbm               Ebm
