       E              C#m         
Well I boxed up those things that 
A          E
you left behind
      E               C#m          
And I gave 'em to goodwill, out of 
A             B7
sight, out of mind
         E           C#m      
But it's not workin' out like I 
  A                 E
hoped that things would
E        C#m            A       
Guess it wouldn't be so bad if 
         B9      E
it hadn't been so good

I called up my folks and told 'em we
 were through
And I was well on my way to getting'
 over you
Continues after the ad
I didn't have to say much 'cause I 
know they understood
That it wouldn't be so bad if it 
hadn't been so good

Bridge:
C#m         B             A     
All our old friends, they ask 
      E
how you are
  C#m              B              
I tell 'em I don't know and I 
  A       B9
don't care anymore
            C#m         B         
But I can't make them believe me 
  A            E
no matter how I try
            C#m         B        
I've got to learn to forget you, 
A            B9
learn how to lie


Well it isn't like love never hurt 
me before
But I always recovered and came back
 for more
This time I'm wonderin' whether I 
should
Lord, it wouldn't be so bad if it 
hadn't hurt so good


Lead solo

E            C#m     A           
We seemed so perfect from where I 
 E
stood
E      C#m            A         
And it wouldn't be so bad if it 
       B9      E
hadn't been so good
E         C#m            A      
I know it wouldn't be so bad if 
          B9      E
it hadn't been so good
