Lyrics

I’m home a (G)lone a (Fmaj7)gain and you’re out hang ing with your (Fmaj7)friends, so you (Cmaj7)say.

Some how I (Am7)know it’s not (Am7)quite that way.

It’s (Fmaj7)get ting (G)pret ty (Fmaj7)late and you have n’t checked on (G)me all (Fmaj7)day.

When I (Cmaj7)called you did n’t an swer.

Now I’m (Am7)feel ing like you’re ig (C)nor ing me.

(G)I (C)wish (G)I (C)could go (F)back

to the (Am7)day be fore we met

and (C9sus)skip my (C9)re grets.

I wish I (Dm7)was n’t in love with (Am7)you so you could n’t (Em7)hurt (Fmaj7)me.

It just ain’t (Dm7)fair the way you treat (Am7)me.

No, you don’t de (Em7)serve (Fmaj7)me.

Wast ing my (Dm7)time think in’ ’bout (Am7)you and you ain’t nev (Em7)er gon’ (Fmaj7)change.

I wish I (Dm7)was n’t in love with (Am7)you so I would n’t (Em7)feel this (Fmaj7)way.

When you touch me my heart melts (and ev ’ry thing you did (G)wrong I for (Fmaj7)give).

So you (Cmaj7)play me and take ad van tage of the love that I feel for you.

(Fmaj7)Why you wan na (G)hurt me so (Fmaj7)bad?

I be lieved in you that’s why I’m (Fmaj7)so mad.

Now I’m (Cmaj7)drown ing in dis ap point ment and it’s hard for me to e ven (Am7)look at you.

(G)I (C)wish (G)I (C)could go (F)back

to the (Am7)day be fore we met

and (Gm7)skip my (C7)re grets I wish I (G)feel this (Fmaj7)way.

Said you care ’bout me but from what I see, I ain’t feel in’ all that, so I dis a gree.

Gave you all my love and un der stand ing, yet you treat ed (D7)me like your en e my.

So leave me a lone, don’t want noth ing from you.

Just go (Am)back where you (G)came from.

This (Fmaj7)house is no (Em7)long er your (Dm7)home.

You’re not (Cmaj7)wel come no, no, no more, no more.

(CN.C.)I wish I (Ebm7)was n’t in love with (Bbm7)you so you could n’t (Fm7)hurt (Gbmaj7)me.

It just ain’t (Ebm7)fair the way you treat (Bbm7)me.

You don’t de (Fm7)serve (Gbmaj7)me.

(CN.C.)I wish I (Em7)was n’t in love with (Bm7)you so you could n’t (F#m7)hurt (Gmaj7)me.

It just ain’t (Em7)fair the way you treat (Bm7)me.

No you don’t de (F#m7)serve (Gmaj7)me.
