Capo 2nd Fret

It's a pretty simple song as long as you listen for the rhythm.

There is on small riff between every transition from G to Em.  Simply walk down 
3-2-0 on the E string.



Open on the Chorus:

G (320003@1)        Em (022000@1)        C (x32010@1)                  GI (320003@1)would be sad because you left me all alone.
G (320003@1)        Em (022000@1)        C (x32010@1)                      GI (320003@1)would be sad because the lies that you had told.
G (320003@1)        Em (022000@1)         C (x32010@1)            DI (xx0232@1)would be sad because I got left by a girl that I adore.
G (320003@1)        Em (022000@1)         C (x32010@1)                 GI (320003@1)would be sad because the love I had before.

                         D (xx0232@1)         
it's not something that you were asking me to do.

                       Dthat (xx0232@1)predictable young couple changing, moving on. 
G (320003@1)                                 EmBut (022000@1)I can tell by watching you that theres no chance of pushing through. 
    C (x32010@1)                              DThe (xx0232@1)odds are so against us; you know most young love it ends like this.

G (320003@1)                             Bm (x24432@1)    C (x32010@1)          DI (xx0232@1)meant what I said when I said I would rearrange my plans and

C (x32010@1)                               DI (xx0232@1)was bluffing then, but it seems that just might have been the truth.
G (320003@1)                                     EmWell (022000@1)my dad told me, "One day son, this girl will think of what she's done

   C (x32010@1)                                 DI (xx0232@1)say, "It's not that simple see, but then again it just may be."
