[Verse 1]

G               Em
Thank you, Mr. Cowboy Boots
C
For making a fool of me
G
Now I know not to trust
Em
Every sweet talking boy
       C                G
In a pair of tight blue jeans
G
And thank you, Mr. Baseball Cap
C
For standing me up
G                  Em
You left me at the party all alone
C                       G
And that's where I met Mr. Pickup 
Truck


[Chorus]

Em                 C            
How long did you think that I'd stay
G
 lonely
G                       Em
Oh I guess you didn't know me
C
I'm good at getting over goodbye
Em              C
Good thing I ain't stuck with you 
forever
G               Em
By the way, hey, by the way
C
Hey, guess who's going out tonight
G               Em
By the way, hey, by the way
D                      G
Guess who's going out tonight

G               C
