[verse]
I know you hate me, I see that now
If I was unhappy, I'd be someone you could stil care about
I think it's stupid and sad
That everything turned out so bad
And ennemies make the most interesting friends
[bridge]
D G C Em Am *(see remark bottom page)
I'm gonna write you a long letter
D G C Em Am
I'm gonna get you on the telephone
D G C Em Am
Three little words to make it all better
D G C Em Am
Maybe I'll leave this whole thing alone
[chorus]
G Em C
It's a sad, sad world without you in it
G Em C
And I'm a bad, bad girl for letting you down
G Em C
And I remember every crazy minute
G Em C
It's a sad, sad world without you around
[verse]
We're too much alike for our own good
We both hate fighting no matter how misunderstood
[bridge]
I want to tell you that you're stubborn
I want to tell you I never lied
I want to tell you that your friends talk way too much
I want to know what happened to that friend of mine
[chorus]
Oh it's a sad, sad world without you in it
And I was a bad, bad girl for letting you down
And I remember every crazy minute
It's a sad, sad world without you around
* the C Em Am is what the bass play, the guitar stays on C
but if playing only with a guitar the C Em Am sounds better
