Verse 1:

      Csus
I put on my make up
C
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Spray my perfume
      Cmaj7    Am
Sat on the front porch, waitin' on you
       Csus          C  Cmaj7
Said we would catch up because it had been awhile
        Csus
I hate to admit it
         C
But my hands are shaking
    Cmaj7
Barely breathin'
   Am
Heart is racin'
      Csus      C          Cmaj7
Looks like feelings don't always change their minds

  Csus       C
But you never called, never showed up
   Cmaj7    Am
Guess some things never change
  Csus       C
And just like living in a flashback
  Cmaj7
You let me down again

Chorus 1:

        Csus        C
That's why the past should be the past
Cmaj7        Am
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
    Csus       C
Let the memories burn and crash
        Cmaj7
'Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
    Csus       C
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
   Cmaj7            Am
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
  Csus        C        Cmaj7
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye

The first time

Csus, C, Cmaj7, Am:

Verse 2:

       Csus
I should know better
      C
I hate that I still cry
        Cmaj7       Am
Lookin' like a fool here watchin' for headlights
  Csus      C          Cmaj7
And kickin' myself for believin' in you again
       Csus       C
I bet you're out drinkin' with a new blonde and
    Cmaj7         Am
Telling her whatevers playin' is her song
     Csus      C        Cmaj7
Yeah and helping her up into your Chevy instead

Csus     C
Even when you don't have me
    Cmaj7      Am
You can still be the one to hurt me
  Csus       C
It must feel good to know
        Cmaj7
That I'm still holdin' on to letting go


Chorus 2:

        Csus        C
That's why the past should be the past
Cmaj7        Am
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
    Csus       C
Let the memories burn and crash
        Cmaj7
'Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
    Csus       C
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
   Cmaj7            Am
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
  Csus        C        Cmaj7
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye

Chorus 3:

        Csus        C
That's why the past should be the past
Cmaj7        Am
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way
    Csus       C
Let the memories burn and crash
 Cmaj7
'Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway
    Csus       C
Is just tearin' my heart back in half
   Cmaj7            Am
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed
  Csus        C        Cmaj7
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye

      Csus
So now I'm letting you go
C            Cmaj
Just like I should have tried

The first Time

Csus, C, Cmaj7, Am:

Oh the first time

Csus, C:

Cmaj7
Yeah
