Intro: Bbm Fm Gb Db Ab

Verse 1:
Bbm                   Fm
I was blinded by the lies
                     Gb
And the manufactured smile
                        Db
The devil went down to Georgia
        Ab           F   Bbm
Then he crossed the 'Bama line
                Fm
So casually convincing
                       Gb
The dream you sold was glistening
                    Db
So cruel but always kidding
        Ab
Are you kidding?
      Gb
And I heard what they were thinking
      Ab
She ignored the warning signs
           Gb
But if you flew across the world for them
     Ab                     (nc)
They too would change their mind

Chorus:
Db                        F
  I guess I should've known
                      Gb
I'd be out here all alone
                             Gbm
In the mess you made, it was all just fake
                   Db
How did you get so cold?
                            F
And no, I wouldn't take you back
                               Gb
But what makes it all a little sad
                         Gbm
Is knowing I wasn't the first
                            Db
And I know I won't be the last

Post-chorus:
                     F
Heart you break in half
                        Gb
To throw right in the trash
                Gbm
Who hurt you so bad, bad, bad?

Verse 2:
Bbm              Fm
  Hometown happy hours
                   Gb
The hand-delivered flowers
                     Db
You looked me in the eyes
              Ab      F         Bbm
And told me what was yours was ours
                    Fm
And when I tried to run
                               Gb
Pump the brakes, just call it fun
                                 Db
You'd cosplay someone with feelings
         Ab               Gb
Oh, I've never felt more dumb
                        Ab
'Cause all of that for nothing
                    Gb
I just don't understand

To know you hurt a girl like me
        Ab            (nc)
Do you feel more like a man?

Chorus:
Db                        F
  I guess I should've known
                      Gb
I'd be out here all alone
                             Gbm
In the mess you made, it was all just fake
                   Db
How did you get so cold?
                            F
And no, I wouldn't take you back
                               Gb
But what makes it all a little sad
                         Gbm
Is knowing I wasn't the first
                            Db
And I know I won't be the last

Post-chorus:
                     F
Heart you break in half
                        Gb
To throw right in the trash
                Gbm
Who hurt you so bad, bad, bad?

Bridge:
             Db                        F
You said you needed less flashy, more fun
                            Gb
Oh, of course she's twenty-one
                        Gbm
On your arm through the bar
                          Db
God, I hate how gross you are
                  F
And how did I not see it?
                   Gb
Your ego, it needs feeding
             Gbm
Endlessly, relentlessly

At the cost of me
    Db                          F
And I'll move on, and I'll find better
                            Gb
But you'll stay the same forever
                Gbm
And ever, happy never

Chorus:
Db                 F
  I guess now I know
                 Gb
I'd rather be alone
                                   Gbm
Than in the mess you made, it was all so fake
                     Db
How does it not get old?
                            F
And no, I wouldn't take you back
                               Gb
But what makes it all a little sad
                         Gbm
Is knowing I wasn't the first
                            Db
And I know I won't be the last

Post-chorus:
                     F
Heart you break in half
                        Gb
To throw right in the trash
                Gbm
Who hurt you so bad, bad, bad?
