Verse 1 :
C
I suppose I should get over this
E
I'm not the first and not the last
Am F
To ever wake up with a hurt inside
C
But it just won't go away
E
It's getting worse now every day
Am F
And I can't find a hole that's big enough where I can crawl and hide.

Yeah I'd rather go blind
E Am
The see you with another guy
Verse 2 : (same chords as before)
You made a special tape for me
With songs from all your favourite CD's
I put it on today, then I had to turn it off
From Junior Brown to Dr Dre
And You A I along the way
The music only made me wan't to get inside your touch
Chorus 2 (same lyrics and chords as before)
Instrumental Break

Verse 3 : (no chords for first 2 lines, then same as before)
You robbed me of my peace of mind
You stole the taste out of the wine
You left with nothing, but you took it all
Now If you sleep with someone else
I just hope it's with another girl
You know I can't compete with that at all
Chorus 3 : (Same again !)
