Chords
Capo 1 for the album version.
It's a pretty simple song as long as you listen for the rhythm.
There is on small riff between every transition from G to Em. Simply walk down
3-2-0 on the E string.
[Open on the Chorus]
G Em C G I would be sad because you left me all alone. G Em C G I would be sad because the lies that you had told. G Em C D I would be sad because I got left by a girl that I adore. G Em C G I would be sad because the love I had before.
[Verse 1]
G Em C I meant what I said when I said I would settle down with you although I know D it's not something that you were asking me to do. G Em C And I know we are young but we won't always be, so marry me; let's not be D that predictable young couple changing, moving on. G Em But I can tell by watching you that theres no chance of pushing through. C D The odds are so against us; you know most young love it ends like this.
[Chorus]
G Em C G I would be sad because you left me all alone. G Em C G I would be sad because the lies that you had told. G Em C D I would be sad because I got left by a girl that I adore. G Em C G I would be sad for all the love I had before.
[Verse 2]
G Bm C D I meant what I said when I said I would rearrange my plans and G change for you. G Em You know me; I've always been the kind with easy confidence. C D G Confident enough to honestly beleive that nothing out there stopping me Em especially not someone who's not loving me. C D Now listen here I told you I could live on with out loving you. C D I was bluffing then, but it seems that just might have been the truth. G Em Well my dad told me, "One day son, this girl will think of what she's done C D and hurting you will be the first of many more regrets to come." G Em And he said, "If she doesn't call, then it's her fault and it's her loss." C D I say, "It's not that simple see, but then again it just may be."
[Chorus/Ending]
G Em C G I would be sad because you left me all alone. G Em C G I would be sad for all the lies that you had told me. G Em C D I would be sad because I got left by a girl that I adore. G Em C G I would be sad for all the love I had before. G Em C G I would be sad for all the love I had before.
