At his college reunion

And, no, I'm not stupid

I've looked her up often

His ex down in Boston

Someone that pretty

When she walked up, said hi

That's a hard pill to swallow
G
A tough act to follow
Em
A big lump in my throat

And we talked over cosmos

And laughed 'til the bar closed
Em
And now even I know
D
What made him fall

I thought meeting her would make me worry less

No way she ain't got a piece of his heart still
C G Em
Damn, that's a hard pill

C
Well, she's smart, but she's funny
G
Humble but with money
Em
Smooth skin like honey

And jeans loose in a size two
G
Said she likes my tattoos
Em
And the worst part, sad truth
D
After meeting her tonight

We'd probably be friends

In another life
Am
He's holding my hand
D
So why's she on my mind?
