G 
How could you let her touch you in a place 

you didn't want touched? 
G 
How could you let get so close to you  

that she could kiss your neck?  
G 
And kiss it gently, and kiss it gently 

and kiss it gently? 

G 
How could you take a number from her 

when you met her in that bar? 
G 
How could you offer her a drink 

and then the front seat of your car?

and kiss her hard?

G 
How could you string me along for so long 

for just over 11 months? 
G 
How could I be so stupid and so blind? 

You know I think I had a hunch 
G 
About this anyway, about this whole thing, 

about this girl 

G 
I thought that it was just a phase  

you were so distant and so cold 
G 
I thought that it was just your age 

and the fear of getting old 
G 
You acted different, you were so different, 

you were impatient

But everytime I look you in the eye 
  D 
I send you to the grave
