Capo on 4
Em          G
I stood on the boat amazed by you
Am    D
Sitting with my sister as we talked about you
Em    G
Couldn’t make my mind up, yes or no
Am      D
When I look back now I wish I had known.

Em             G
I wish I had known what would happen,
Am   D
I wish I would know how it would end
Em   G
Even after all this time I’m still shocked
Am   D
I can’t see how you could just pretend

C
You told me everything,
D
And you told me why
Em
You told me the next day
G    D
That in front of everyone, you couldn’t help but cry

Em           C
How could I sit there and fall for that?
D      G
How could you let this happen?
Em      C
How could everything just stop like that?
D          G
I will never understand you

Em   G
I was so happy to be out of school,
Am   D
all those memories over the time.
Em   G
Late night texts and splashing in the pool
Am   D
I was so happy when I didn’t know you.
Em   G
Then came around August,
Am   D
I was happy to see you,
Em   G
But I could feel you slipping
Am   D
I was starting to see a different you

Em       G
Instead of sweet paragraphs
Am  D
They were all angry
Em     G
from the other end of the conversation
Am D
It got so scary.

C
You told me you were sorry every time
D
You told me you meant it
Em     G
But from the other end of the conversation,
  D
I could never believe it.

Em           C
How could I sit there and fall for that?
D      G
How could you let this happen?
Em      C
How could everything just stop like that?
D          G
I will never understand you

Em         G
After every fight,
Am       D
my sister would be there
Em                         G
Always there to comfort me,
Am     D
Always here to make you aware

Em  G
It hurt me to talk like that
Am  D
Like no other pain,
Em  G
But now I know what really hurts,
Am  D
Now I know real pain

Em
You told me goodbye
C
You said you wanted to be done
Em              G
I was fine cause there’d be no more fights,
D
But now I see I was wrong.

Em           C
How could I sit there and fall for that?
D      G
How could you let this happen?
Em      C
How could everything just stop like that?
D          G
I will never understand you

Em  G
I was done, kind of happy,
Am  D
Talked to my sister up until the day
Em  G
You and my sister? 4 days later?
Am  D
I knew she wasn’t really there to stay.

C
I told her how I felt
D
I told her how much it hurt
Em  G
I was starting to see the real you,
D
And How you treated me like dirt.

C
She tried to say she’s sorry
D
She said goodbye to you
Em  D
I’m still upset with her
C
But now everyone is upset with me

Em           C
How could I sit there and fall for that?
D      G
How could you let this happen?
Em      C
How could everything just stop like that?
D          G
I will never understand you

Em  G
Now I see that it can’t be me,
Am  D
The one who turns out good,
Em  G
Everyone has turned on me,
Am  D
No one thinks I should.

Em  G
I don’t know how all this happened
Am  D
It feels like just a bad dream
Em  G
People tell me don’t be mad
Am  D
I guess they don’t know how bad that seams

Em  G
They tell me to stop,
Am  D
They tell me to forgive,
Em  G
I know I really should,
Am  D
But where would that leave me?

Em           C
How could I sit there and fall for that?
D      G
How could you let this happen?
Em      C
How could everything just stop like that?
D          G
I will never understand you

Em           C
How could I sit there and fall for that?
D      G
How could you let this happen?
Em      C
How could everything just stop like that?
D          G
I will never understand you
