G
Take your hurting heart, throw it in my face
God, I hate this part
              Am
Let's go for coffee
         C                          G
You can tell me how it's all my fault

You are my best friend, and that hasn't changed
Wish that we could mend this
I had a freak-out
I tried to reach out and you ignored me

Chorus:
        C             Bm            Em
Lauren said you were working at the bar
Am7                           D
Pullin' pints for rich guys, wishin' on a star
                C
Now you've got new friends
       Bm          Em
Oh, I don't doubt it
        Am7                                     D7
And to them, I'm just some girl who broke your heart
             D
And wrote a song about it

We've been out on tour, how is London-town?
It's so stupid hot in Texas
Now, it's hard to breathe
Oh, I'm not built to try and carry all this
guilt you gave me

       Em             B/D#
And I know, when I'm home
     D                C
I'm bound to see you somewhere
                 Em                  B/D#
But you'll keep walking, you owe me nothing
    D              C
But it'll kill me right there
             G/B                        A#
I'd rather scream it at the wall, then not say
      Am
it at all
          G
I miss you

Chorus:
And Marcus said you seem to be alright
I'll pretend I don't care,
but it keeps me up at night
Now you've got new friends
And I don't doubt it
And to them, I'm just some girl
who broke your heart
And wrote a song about it

And I've got new friends
Just to let you know
And to them you're just some boy who lost his mind
And took a while to let go
