Hey
                  D#maj7
This is a story I hate
                              D#7
And tellin' it might make me break
                    G# A#
But I'll tell it anyway
                 D#
This chapter's about
                             D#maj7
How you said there was nobody else
                                D#7
Then you got up and went to her house
                        G# A#
You guys always left me out

  D#maj7
I still have the letter you wrote when you told me
     A#/D
That I was the only girl
                         Cm
you'd ever want in your life
                        G#m A#
I guess my friends were right

Chorus:
              Fm7                   A#7
Each day goes by and each night, I cry
         D#maj7                 Cm
Somebody saw you with her last night
                 Fm7                      A#7
You gave me your word, "Don't worry 'bout her"
                   D#maj7                 D#7
You might love her now, but you loved me first
                 Fm7                  A#7
Said you'd never hurt me, but here we are
        D#maj7   A#/D   Cm
Oh, you swore on every star
              Fm7    A#7              D#maj7
How could you be so reckless with my heart?

You check in and out
Of my heart like a hotel
And she must be perfect, oh well
I hope you both go to hell

I still have the letter
you wrote when you told me
That I was the only girl
you'd ever want in your life
I guess my friends were right

Chorus

              Fm7   A#7
How could you be so reckless?
              D#maj7 A#/D Cm
How could you be    so  reckless?
              Fm7   A#7                      D#maj7
How could you be so reckless with someone's heart?

Hey
This is a story I hate
But I told it to cope with the pain
I'm so sorry if you can relate
