[INTRO: ]
G D C G(2x)
G
Well, we used to sit in dark parking lots
C
We used to try not to talk to much
D
Then your favorite song would start
G
You swore we'd never break apart
G
And you told me it was forever
C
And that we'd always be together
D
Then your father said,
G
"Give up music son or you'll be dead!"
C D
I broke up all my radios
C
I turned up all my cable shows
D
Burned up all my stereos
I'VE HAD ENOUGH!
G D
IIIIIIIiiiiii hate your song on the station
C G
when she's gone, and she's gone
G D
IIIIIIIiiiiii hate your song on the station
C G
when she's gone, and she's gone
G
Couldn't give it up that quick
C D
Bustin' things up didn't do the trick
G
I was playing some dive club before you knew it
{not sure about lyrics}
G
And above all, I still was,
C
fightin' with your dad
D
I could have kissed him on the lips
`G
with my mouth or with my fist
C
Cause I was, Bustin' up my radios
D
turn'in off my cable shows
C D
burning up my stereos I knew I had enough
G D
IIIIIIIiiiiii hate your song on the station
C G
when she's gone, and she's gone
G D
IIIIIIIiiiiii hate your song on the station
C G
when she's gone, and she's gone
*guitar break*
G D C G(2x)
G D
IIIIIIIiiiiii hate your song on the station
C G
when she's gone, and she's gone
G D
IIIIIIIiiiiii hate your song on the station
C G
when she's gone, and she's gone
G D
IIIIIIIiiiiii hate your song on the station
C G
when she's gone, and she's gone
