Verse 1:
A  You left a guy who told you
D               Ewhere to be and when
AI was with a girl who tried 
    D                 Eto sleep with my best friend
F#m   We both took comfort in
     Deach other's messy lives
A  Finding warmth on that
Ecold November night
A  We swore it'd be years 
          Dbefore we brought that on
 E   Aagain Days later you said
               Dthat we should be more
          Ethan just friends
F#m   I let my guard down cause
    Dthe feelings were so strong
A  But acted stupid and
       Ethat's when he came along


Chorus 1:
D  It's been so long
  EI should just move on
AThere's other
E/G#        F#mfish in the sea

Verse 2:
A  We'd sneak out and go

A  You're one of few who
    D                   Ecan say they've seen me cry
F#m   You got my quirkiness and
Dawkward sense of humor
A  We shared Simpson quote and
 Estarted made up rumors
A  If night turned into day 
      D                 Eyou'd hide me from your mom
AI could never fight with you
      D              Ecause you were never wrong
F#m   This time especially
    Dthe blame is all on me
A  If I'd not screwed things 
     Eup I wonder where we'd be


(Repeat Chorus 1)
