Capo 1
Intro: G Em (2x)
Verse:
G
I had a feeling, I was feeling alright
Em
It just happened to be Saturday night
C
I put my lipstick on a little too bright
D
And I took a deep breathe and started to drive
G
He let me in without a covered charge
Em
I found my way to the back of the bar
C
Peeled the corners of the cocktail napkin
D
Watching everybody smiling, laughing
[Refrão]
G C
I just bought a drink
D G
Downtown all alone
C
I'm searching through the names
D Em
Getting lost in my cellphone
C
It ain't pretty, It ain't pretty
When a heart breaks
G Em
Verse;
G
I made my way to the bathroom mirror

I'm standing next to some girl spilling beer

She didn't notice I was drying my tears

Just look at me now, God, how'd I get here?
[Refrão]
G C
'Cause I just kissed a boy
D G
And I barely even knew his name

Let him take me by the hand
D Em
Pull me close while our old song played
C
It ain't pretty, it ain't pretty
When a heart breaks
Bridge:
Em D
I almost dialed your number
C D
To remind you what you did
Em D
But I think it might be better
C Cm
To just let this night end
[Refrão]
G C
So, I just called a cab
D G
Outside it's starting to rain

Got my high heels in my hand

Oh I'm ready for the walk of shame

It ain't pretty, it ain't pretty
C
It ain't pretty when a heart breaks
G Em
