G
I put on my make up
D
Spray my perfume
A Bm
Sat on the front porch, waitin' on you
G D A
Said we would catch up because it had been a while
G
I hate to admit it
D
But my hands are shaking
A
Barely breathin'
Bm
Heart is racin'
G D A
Looks like feelings don't always change their minds
G D
But you never called, never showed up
A Bm
Guess somethings never change
G D A
And just like living in a flashback, you let me down again
G D
That's why the past should be the past
A Bm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
G D
Let the memories burn and crash
A Bm
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
G D
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
A Bm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
G D A
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
Bm
The first time
G
I should know better
D
I hate that I still cry
A Bm
Lookin' like a fool here watchin' for headlights
G D A
And kickin' myself for believin' in you again
G D
I bet you're out drinkin' with a new blonde and
A Bm
Telling her whatever's playin' is her song
G D A
Yeah and helping her up into your Chevy instead
G D
Even when you don't have me
A Bm
You can still be the one to hurt me
G D
It must feel good to know
A
That I'm still holdin' on to letting go
G D
That's why the past should be the past
A Bm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
G D
Let the memories burn and crash
A Bm
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
G D
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
A Bm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
G D A
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
Bm
The first time
G D
That's why the past should be the past
A Bm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
G D
Let the memories burn and crash
A Bm
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
G D
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
A Bm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
G D A
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye
G D A
So I'm letting you go, just like I should have tried
Bm
The first time
