You wiped my tears, got rid of (Em7)all my (Dsus)fears.
Why did you have to go?
Guess it was n’t e nough to take up (Em7)some of my (Csus2)love.
Guys are so hard to trust.
Did I not tell you that I’m not like that girl, the one who gives it all a (D5)way, yeah, ahh.
Did you think that I was going to give it (C5)up to you this time?
Did you think that it was some thing I was (C5)going to do and cry?
Don’t try to tell me (C5)what to (G5)do.
