BUT YOU’LL BE (D) SORRY YOU (A) EVER ASKED (D) WHY
(G) WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS IN AUGUST LAST YEAR
BUT THINGS HAVE BEEN KINDA ROUGH FOR QUITE A WHILE
AND YOU KNOW WHEN YOU THINK IT’LL WORK ITSELF OUT
YEAH WELL (A) MISTER THAT’S ALL TOO WRONG FOR A
(Tacet) LONG, LONG, MILE
(CHO)
(G) AND I SHOULD HAVE SEEN WE WERE DRIFTING APART
BUT I WAS IN WHAT I GUESS YOU’D CALL THE NIGHT
AND I’D ALWAYS HEARD YOU SAY YOU’LL BE THE LAST TO KNOW
YEAH WELL (A) BUDDY I WAS LAST FOR A

AREN’T YOU SORRY YOU (B) EVER ASKED (E) WHY
Stop - then:
DID I (A) TELL YOU HOW SHE TRIED TO HAVE ME LOCKED
OUT OF THE HOUSE

BUT I KNOW IT WAS MOSTLY HER FAMILY’S IDEA
I CAN (B) HEAR HIM TELL HER WHAT TO SAY EVERY
(Tacet) TIME I CALLED
(CHO)
Have fun.
