E  Am    E                  Am
I've been lying to keep you from this pain
           G   C          Dm
Now you're crying, and to know that I'm to blame
    Am   G    Dm F          E Am E
And I'll miss you, but it's over now
    G  Am
I'm so sorry that it had to be this way
             G    C
Please don't hate me
            Dm              F      Am        Dm  C
But there's nothing you can say to change my mind
     E   Am E
I've got to go


[Pre-Chorus]
 Am          F          Am         Dm
(Where's the guy that I fell for?
          C
He wanted more and more)


[Chorus]
Am     E F              F#dim            F
Bye bye boyfriend, it's time that I'd be on my way
Am  E   F            F#dim            F
Bye bye boyfriend, I used to like the way you'd say
Am    E           F
Baby, back it up, lay downward
F#dim
It was fun, but it couldn't last forever
Am       F
Bye bye, pretty boy (bye bye boy, boy)
              F#dim
It's time to, it's time to pack it up
F                C
Baby, cause it's over now

[Verse 2]
Am                     F
Let me tell you how it was when we started off
          Dm
With your tattoos and your lip pierced
    F                 E
And raggedy style you used to rock
Am                     F
Lately, everything you do and say is messed up
Dm                                     F
Things have changed, down is up, we're outta luck
    E         Am
And baby, I'm sorry that it had to be this way
             C
Please don't hate me
            Dm      F              Am        Dm        C
But there's nothing you can say to change my mind (the guy that I fell for)
     E        Am          E
I've got to go (he wanted more and more)


[Chorus]
Eb  E   F               F#dim
Bye bye boyfriend, it's time that I'd be on my way
Am    E F            F#dim            F
Bye bye boyfriend, I used to like the way you'd say (bye bye boy, boy)
Am    C           F
Baby, back it up, lay downward
F#dim
It was fun, but it couldn't last forever
Am              F
Bye bye, pretty boy (bye bye boy friend)
              F#dim
It's time to, it's time to pack it up
F                C
Baby, cause it's over now

[Bridge]
Am                       F                Am
You never put the effort into things that really counted
                 Dm
Word here, and a kiss there
      E
Could change the way it's turning out
Am
You worked so hard at all the things I never cared about
         Dm                    Am
And your hands worked and your fingers moving, and you're eyes wide shut
              E   Am
And baby, I'm lonely though you're right in front of me
       G       C                F
You controlled me, that was the girl I used to be
     Am  Dm  C           E Am E
Gave up myself, but it's over now


[Pre-Chorus]

Bye bye, pretty boy (bye bye boy)

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty boyfriend (bye bye boy, boy)

It's time to, it's time to pack it up

Baby, cause it's over now
