G     Em              D
I was dreaming of the past
                          Em
And my heart was beating fast
                     D
I began to lose control
Em                   C
I began to lose control

Chorus:
G        Dm/F          C  D
I didn't mean to hurt you,
G          Dm/F   A#
I'm sorry that I made you cry.
G         D/F#         Em Em7/D
I didn't want to hurt you,
C                   G
I'm just a jealous guy.

I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside

Chorus:
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain

Chorus:
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

Watch out, I'm just a jealous guy
Look out baby, I'm just a jealous guy
