Intro: Fadd9
Verse
Fadd9
I don’t know how
To let you go
Bb
It’s been six months now
Fadd9
I hear the sound
Of all the rumours about you
Bb
Going round
Fadd9
They say you moved on in just two weeks
How could it be so easy
Bb
For you to forget me
Fadd9
And now you’ve moved in with all your friends
And you don’t think of me
Bb
Before bed
Chorus
Fadd9
And you’ll be kissing her
Bb
When you should be kissing me instead
Fadd9
And you’ll be kissing him
Bb
When you should be kissing me instead
Verse
Fadd9
And in your head
You flicked the switch
Bb
And called me a friend
Fadd9
You don’t love yourself
Enough to keep away
Bb
From someone else
Fadd9
And your ex girlfriend’s asked you out
And I can’t see you
Bb
Turning her down
Fadd9
Because you’re too scared to be alone
And yet I’ve been here
Bb
All along
[Refrão]
Fadd9
And you’ll be missing her
Bb
When you should be missing me instead
Fadd9
And you’ll be missing him
Bb
When you should be missing me instead
Fadd9
And you keep twisting this
Bb
And making me an enemy in your head
Fadd9
So you’ll be kissing them
Bb
When you should be kissing me instead
Bridge
Fadd9
I’d rather you be happy
Bb
Than make you fall in love with me
Fadd9
But you’re thinking of a lover and
Bb
I’m fearing that I’ll never love again
Fadd9
I’d rather you be happy
Bb
Than make you fall in love with me
Fadd9
But you’re thinking of a lover and
Bb
I’m fearing that I’ll never love again
