Em (4x)
Em C Em Em (2x)

[Verse]
Em            C                    Em
I try to be a man when it comes to love
Em            C                 Em
I see it as a lesson that every young man's gotta learn
Em               C          Em
I know she ain't no more my concern

[Pre-Chorus]
Em              C
Play around but in the fire
    D
And eventually got burnt

[Chorus]
C                                 Em
I ain't bitter, I don't want retribution
C                                              Em
I hope that she gets all that she wants out of life
G                             D
I know she's single and she's bound to get 'em down
        C                              Em
But the hardest thing is seeing her in town
    C                D          Em
The hardest thing is having her around

[Verse]
Em            C                    Em
I try to be a boy when I'm with my friends
Em               C                 Em
But every time I hear that name it starts me up again
Em                    C                   Em
Now I ain't trying to claim that I'm some saint

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                  C
Of course I'm gonna take her home
        D
If it's put there on a plate

[Chorus]
C                                     Em
I ain't mad and I don't want a confrontation
C                                        Em
I hope that she gets all that she dreams about
G                             D
I know she's single and she's bound to get 'em down
        C                              Em
But the hardest thing is seeing her in town
    C                D          Em
The hardest thing is having her around

[Solo]
Em Em C D (2x)

[Chorus]
C                                     Em
I ain't mad and I don't want a confrontation
C                                        Em
I hope that she gets all that she dreams about
G                             D
I know she's single and she's bound to get 'em down
        C                              Em
But the hardest thing is seeing her in town
    C                D          Em
The hardest thing is having her around
    C                D          Em
The hardest thing is having her around
    C                D          Em
The hardest thing is having her around
