Enjoy! :D [Verse]
             G
I put on my make up

          D
Spray my perfume 

            A                   Bm
Sat on the front porch, waitin' on you 

               G                       D        A
Said we would catch up because it had been a while

           G
I hate to admit it

                  D
But my hands are shaking

          A
Barely breathin'

          Bm
Heart is racin'

             G                    D             A
Looks like feelings don't always change their minds

     G                        D   
But you never called, never showed up

       A                 Bm
Guess somethings never change

     G                     D             A
And just like living in a flashback, you let me down again
[Chorus]
                G                  D
That's why the past should be the past

 A                        Bm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way

         G                  D
Let the memories burn and crash

        A                           Bm
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway

          G               D
Is just tearin' my heart back in half

      A                            Bm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed

     G                          D         A
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye

           Bm
The first time
[Verse]
              G
I should know better 

               D
I hate that I still cry

                A                      Bm
Lookin' like a fool here watchin' for headlights

     G                   D                 A
And kickin' myself for believin' in you again

                  G              D
I bet you're out drinkin' with a new blonde and

         A                      Bm
Telling her whatever's playin' is her song

           G             D                 A
Yeah and helping her up into your Chevy instead

 G                   D
Even when you don't have me

          A                  Bm
You can still be the one to hurt me

    G                 D
It must feel good to know

                A
That I'm still holdin' on to letting go
[Chorus]
                G                  D
That's why the past should be the past

 A                        Bm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way

         G                  D
Let the memories burn and crash

        A                           Bm
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway

          G               D
Is just tearin' my heart back in half

      A                            Bm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed

     G                          D         A
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye

           Bm
The first time

                G                  D
That's why the past should be the past

 A                        Bm
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way

         G                  D
Let the memories burn and crash

        A                           Bm
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway

          G               D
Is just tearin' my heart back in half

      A                            Bm
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed

     G                          D         A
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye

         G                   D                   A
So I'm letting you go, just like I should have tried

          Bm
The first time
