C#m
Maybe you don't like talking too much
 A
about yourself
     E
But you shoulda told me
                                 B
That you were thinking 'bout someone else
         C#m
You're drunk at a party
                                   A
Or maybe it's just that your car broke down
       E
Your phone's been off for a couple of months
           B
So you're calling me now

C#m                       A
I know you, you're like this
       E
When shit don't go your way you needed
 B
me to fix it
C#m             A
And like me, I did
    E                   B
But I ran out of every reason

Chorus:
                    C#m            A
Now suddenly you're asking for it back
                     E                  B
Could you tell me, where'd you get the nerve?
                        C#m               A
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
                    E               B
But I don't really care how bad it hurts
                  C#m  A
When you broke me first
              E  B
You broke me first

Took a while, was in denial when I first heard
That you moved on quicker than I could've ever, you know that hurt
Swear for a while, I would stare at my phone just to see your name
But now that it's there, I don't really know what to say

I know you, you're like this
When shit don't go your way, you needed me to fix it
And like me, I did
But I ran out of every reason

Chorus

                         C#m   A
What did you think would happen?
                          E     B
What did you think would happen?
                   C#m     A
I'll never let yo u have it
                          E    B
What did you think would happen?

Chorus
