[Intro]: G D A Bm G D A
G D I put on my make up, spray my perfume A Bm Sat on the front porch, waitin' on you G D A Said we would catch up cause it had been a while G D I hate to admit it, but my hands are shaking A Bm Barely breathing, heart is racing G D A Looks like feelings don't always change their mind 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 G D And 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 D 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 G D A And that's why goodbye should mean goodbye, the first time G D I should know better, I hate that I still cry A Bm Looking like a fool here watching for headlights G D A And kicking myself for believin' in you again G D Oh I bet you're out drinking with a new blonde A Bm And telling her whatever's playing 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 G D And 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 D 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 goodbye should mean goodbye, the first time
[Interlude]: G D A Bm G D A
G D Yeah 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 D Cause sittin' here looking at this 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 goodbye should mean goodbye G D A G D A So now I'm letting you go, just like I should have tried, the first time Bm G D A Oh, the first time, oh yeah G D A Bm G D A Yeah that's why the past should be the past, oooh, the first time, yeah
