Chords

[Verse 1]
G
You

                    Am
You said I wasn't worth the wait

               C
You said you wouldn't stay

               Em
And you were gone before I knew it

    G
But I

                 Am
Thought we could make amends

                          C
I thought that's how the story would end

                   Em
I guess that was just in my head
[Chorus]
G
Standing on the porch and screaming her name

   Am
I never thought that I would get this way

  C
I told myself I'd let you walk away

      Em
It's easier said than done

          G
When she says it in person and tells you goodbye

Am
You don't know how to act and you try not to cry

     C
You beg her don't go and to stay for the night

         Em
But she just tells you, you were never quite right

     G
She walks out that door and doesn't turn around

  Am
Didn't see my smile turn into a frown

     C
With dust kickin' up and the pedal on the ground

    Em                                  G
It wasn't too long until she left this town
Am C Em [Verse 2]
        G
For the next few months I chased after a ghost

    Am
But there was no chance I'd ever find yours

 C
Where you left to that day, well no one knows

  Em
I kept on thinking that, you would come home

G
Took me 6 months, but I finally saw the light

Am
My friends dragged me out to a bar one night

   C
Where I met this girl with the prettiest smile

            Em
Because I haven't seen yours in quite a while

G
She makes me laugh, just like you

    Am
But I don't feel like this time it is true

    C
I hate that I can't get over you

Em                                                Em
I really don't know if I'll ever make it through
[Chorus]
G
Standing on the porch and screaming her name

   Am

  C
I told myself I'd let you walk away

      Em
It's easier said than done

When she says it in person and tells you goodbye

Am
You don't know how to act and you try not to cry

     C

It wasn't too long until she left this town

Left this town

           C   Em
Left this town
