[Verse 1]
   E                   G#m    F#
I wonder why I always cared about her
B  E                      G#m   F#
   When I never took care of myself
B  E                      G#m     F#
   But now I'm gonna forget all about her, oh, oh
B  E                      G#m          F#
   So she can't keep pulling me through hell


[Verse 2]
B  E                           G#m   F#
   I can't believe I ever said I loved her
B  E                    G#m   F#
   It took me so long just to see
B  E                        G#m     F#
   But now I'm gonna listen to my mother, oh, oh
B  E                     G#m     F#
   She is always looking out for me

         E   G#m          F#            B          E
Is one enough to my mama told me don't settle for less
         G#m                 B
