            Csus
I put on my make up

C
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
