Verse:
[Am] Same bed, but it [C] feels just a little bit [Dm] bigger now
[G] Our song on the [G7] radio, but it don’t [C] sound the same [G]
[Am] When our friends talk [C] about you all it does is just [Dm] tear me down
[G] Cause my heart breaks a little when I [C] hear your name
Pre-Chorus:
It [G] all just sounds like [Am] ooh, ooh, oooh, [Em] oooh
[Bb] Mmm too young, too dumb to [G] realize
Chorus:
That I should’ve bought you [F] flowers [G] and held your [C] hand
Shoulda gave you all my [F] hours [G] when I had the [C] chance
Take you to every [F] party cause all you [G] wanted to do was [Am] dance
[D7] Now my baby’s [F] dancing, but she’s [Fm] dancing with another [C] man [Em]
Verse:
[Am] My pride, my [C] ego, my needs and my [Dm] selfish ways
[G] Caused a good strong [G7] woman like you to walk [C] out my life [G]
Now I’ll [Am] never, [C] never get to clean up the [Dm] mess I made ooh
[G] And that haunts me every time I close [C] my eyes
Pre-Chorus:
It [G] all just sounds like [Am] ooh, ooh, oooh, [Em] oooh
[Bb] Mmm too young, too dumb to [G] realize
Chorus:
That I should’ve bought you [F] flowers [G] and held your [C] hand
Shoulda gave you all my [F] hours [G] when I had [C] the chance
Take you to every [F] party cause all you [G] wanted to do was [Am] dance
[D7] Now my baby’s [F] dancing, but she’s [Fm] dancing with another [C] man
Bridge:
Although it [F] hurts I’ll be the [G] first to say that I was [C] wrong [G] [Am] [G]
Oh, I [D7] know I’m probably much too late
To try and [Dm] apologize for my mistakes
But I just [G] want you to know
Chorus:
I hope he buys you [F] flowers, [G] I hope he holds your [C] hand
Give you all his [F] hours [G] when he has the [C] chance
Take you to every [F] party cause I [G] remember how much you [Am] love to dance
[D7] Do all the things I [F] should’ve done [Fm] when I was your [C] man
[D7] Do all the things I [F] should’ve done [Fm] when I was your [C] man
