Em                      G
Come to terms that your car ain't gonna be parked in my drive
D                     Am
Now my heart doesn't stop when I see one passing by
Em                   G
I can talk 'bout you now without wanting to cry
Em                   G
Smell of you slowly fades every time I wash my clothes
D                Am
Fear of you goes away like old places we'd go
Em                    G
I don't skip all our songs when they're on the radio

                Em     G             Am
Oh, isn't this always how the story goes?
                  Em     G             Am
Yeah, isn't this always how the story goes?

       Em           G                        D
I was just getting back to myself since you proved you don't care
   Am
At all
       Em           G                        D
I was just telling all of my friends that I finally healed from
     Am
The fall
           Em        G       Am
So, baby, why'd you have to call?
       Em        G       Am
Baby, why'd you have to call?

Em                        G
It's like you started to sense I'm doing good on my own
D          Am
9:02 On a Thursday when I picked up the phone
Em                 G
Do you miss me or are you just scared to be alone?

                   Em     G             Am
'Cause isn't this always how the story goes?
                Em     G             Am
Oh, isn't this always how the story goes?

       Em           G                        D
I was just getting back to myself since you proved you don't care
   Am
At all
       Em           G                        D
I was just telling all of my friends that I finally healed from
     Am
The fall
           Em        G       Am
So, baby, why'd you have to call?
       Em        G       Am
Baby, why'd you have to call?

Em                          G
Salt in the wound like you can't even imagine
D                                  Am
Know that you do it 'cause you're craving a reaction
Em                       G
Do you get some kind of sick satisfaction
D                              Am                  Em
Knowing I'm gonna have to pick myself up all over again?

                   Em     G             Am
'Cause isn't this always how the story goes?

           Em           G                        D
Oh, I was just getting back to myself since you proved you don't
        Am
Care at all
       Em           G                        D
I was just telling all of my friends that I finally healed from
     Am
The fall
           Em        G       Am
So, baby, why'd you have to call?
       Em        G       Am
Baby, why'd you have to call?

Em         G       Am
Why'd you have to call?
    Em        G       Am
So why'd you have to call?
