   E
Today was the worst day
  F#m
I went through hell
   A                           B
I wish I could remove it from my mind
  E
Two months away from you
    F#m
But I couldn't tell
               A                        B
I thought that everything was gonna be just fine

    C#m
The post card that you wrote
           A
with the stupid little note
 E                             B
Something wasn't quite right about it
   C#m
It smelled like chick perfume
        A
And it didn't smell like you
          E                   B
There is no way you can get around it
   A
Because you wrote

Chorus:
    E
"I wish you were her"
    F#m
You left out the 'E'
     A
You left without me and now
you're somewhere out there
          E
with the bitch! slut! psycho! babe!
  F#m
I hate you why are guys so lame?
A
Everything I gave you
I want everything back but you

My friends tried to tell me all along
That you weren't the right one for me
My friends tried to tell me to be strong
I bet you didn't think that I would see

The postcard that you wrote with
a stupid little note
Something wasn't quite right about it
I wanna see you cry, like I did a thousand times
Now you're losing me, you're losing me now
Because you wrote

Chorus

The postcard that you wrote with
a stupid little note
Something wasn't quite right about it
It smelt like cheap perfume and
it didn't smell like you
There is no way you can get around it
Because you wrote

Chorus

"I wish you were her"
You left out the "E"
You left without me
Everything back but you
"I wish you were her"
You left out the "E"
You left without me
Everything back but you
