Verse:
D
Damn! i had big plans for us

You had to go and fall in love
      E                Am7
With somebody i know
D
Damn! you′d move to LA for her

You told me you would never
     E                               Am7
Even visit if that's where i were to go
                      Bm
I′ve always been real good
    B
At being second best

Between something real serious
        A                               Am7
And my time will come I know I know I know

Chorus:
    D
But damn! it's never me
                            E
Don't know why this time i thought that it would be
Dmaj7
Damn! it′s always someone just like her
                        E
It′s textbook, could've guessed she′s what you prefer
                   D
She was right under my nose
           D      E
She was sleeping in your clothes
         Dmaj7                       D
While I thought of you the whole way home
                           E
How'd i miss it? damn! I should′ve known

Damn!

Verse:
D
Everybody knew it too

They saw the way I looked at you
 E
Imagine my surprise
        D
When you said you found somebody new
                      Bm
Everything i did for months with you
E
Flashed before my eyes
       D
You'll write your songs about other girls
         Bm
Who were more than friends
                          E
But at least they got the chance to screw it up
         D
And the girl you chose is sweet i know
    Bm
I′ll try my best not to look at her
     E
And always wonder what it was

Chorus:
    D
But damn! it's never me
                            E
Don't know why this time i thought that it would be
Dmaj7
Damn! it′s always someone just like her
                        E
It′s textbook, could've guessed she′s what you prefer
                   D
She was right under my nose
           D      E
She was sleeping in your clothes
                             D       Dmaj7
While I thought of you the whole way home
                           E
How'd i miss it? damn! I should′ve known

Damn!

Dmaj7
Of course i know her
Bm7
Of course she's nice
                 E
Of course you′ll both move here together
Gbm
Story of my life
             Dmaj7
Said i'm not crazy
            Bm7
There was a time
              E
You might've loved me
                        Gbm    Dmaj7
But you couldn′t tell me why

it's never me
                            E
Don't know why this time i thought that it would be
Dmaj7
Damn! it′s always someone just like her
                        E
It′s textbook, could've guessed she′s what you prefer
                   Dmaj7
She was right under my nose
                E
She was sleeping in your clothes
                             Dmaj7   Bm7
While I thought of you the whole way home
                           E
How'd i miss it? damn! I should′ve known
