             G 
I put on my make up 
          D 
Spray my perfume  
            A                   Bm 
Sat on the front porch, waitin' on you  
               G                       D        A 
Said we would catch up because it had been a while 
           G 
I hate to admit it 
                  D 
But my hands are shaking 
          A 
Barely breathin' 
          Bm 
Heart is racin' 
             G                    D             A 
Looks like feelings don't always change their minds 

     G                        D    
But you never called, never showed up 
       A                 Bm 
Guess somethings never change 
     G                     D             A 
And just like living in a flashback, you let me down again 

                G                  D 
That's why the past should be the past 
 A                        Bm 
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way 
         G                  D 
Let the memories burn and crash 
        A                           Bm 
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway 
          G               D 
Is just tearin' my heart back in half 
      A                            Bm 
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed 
     G                          D         A 
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye 
           Bm 
The first time 

              G 
I should know better  
               D 
I hate that I still cry 
                A                      Bm 
Lookin' like a fool here watchin' for headlights 
     G                   D                 A 
And kickin' myself for believin' in you again 
                  G              D 
I bet you're out drinkin' with a new blonde and 
         A                      Bm 
Telling her whatever's playin' is her song 
           G             D                 A 
Yeah and helping her up into your Chevy instead 

 G                   D 
Even when you don't have me 
          A                  Bm 
You can still be the one to hurt me 
    G                 D 
It must feel good to know 
                A 
That I'm still holdin' on to letting go 


                G                  D 
That's why the past should be the past 
 A                        Bm 
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way 
         G                  D 
Let the memories burn and crash 
        A                           Bm 
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway 
          G               D 
Is just tearin' my heart back in half 
      A                            Bm 
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed 
     G                          D         A 
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye 
           Bm 
The first time 


                G                  D 
That's why the past should be the past 
 A                        Bm 
Far behind, back of mind, out of the way 
         G                  D 
Let the memories burn and crash 
        A                           Bm 
Cause sittin' here looking at the driveway 
          G               D 
Is just tearin' my heart back in half 
      A                            Bm 
Like nothing's changed except the time that's passed 
     G                          D         A 
And that's why good-bye should mean good-bye 
         G                   D                   A 
So I'm letting you go, just like I should have tried 
          Bm 
The first time
