F#m                   D
Well I looked at her face
                      A
and then I knew she changed
                 Bm
My heart turned black and
                      A
then the sky turned gray!
                 Bm
My heart turned black and
                      E  C#/F
then the sky turned gray!
F#m             D           A
So I sat in my room for 27 days
              Bm
No she never called
                     A
I had something to say!
              Bm
No she never called
                    E  C#/F
I had something to say!

F#m           E/G#
I don't know much and
              A  C#m
I don't know how

Chorus:
D              A        D           F#m
Why would she put me through such torture
D             F#m      E    D
I would have given my life for her
D           F#m        D        F#m
She was the one that knocked me over
D        F#m          E       D
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Well, I heard she's great
And her new boyfriend's lame
Well, she can go to hell
I'll never be the same
She can go to hell
I'll never be the same
And these open wounds
Will heal with time they say
Yeah, my heart turned black
Then the sky turned gray
Yeah, my heart turned black
Then the sky turned gray

Well, I don't know much
I don't know how

Chorus - x2

Well I don't know much
I don't know how

Chorus - x2
