E5                    B5                                   C#5 
  I was so down bad, I should've known you'd take me for a ride 
                       A5 
But I was going mad, I needed someone by my side 
E5                            B5 
  We had this hookup thing, I thought I wanted more, but I was 
 C#5 
Wrong 
                              A5 
You complicated things, this went on too long 

        E5                 B5 
So I'll take my time, I'll pave my mind 
   C#5               A5 
We can't go on, I'm sorry if it hurts 
            E5          B5 
But if you realize and realign 
       C#5                 A5 
You'll find that this was never gonna work 

E5                                B5 
  You never liked my friends, the good news is they hated your 
      C#5 
Guts too 
                           A5 
We'll never make amends, I get sick just thinkin' of you 
E5                           B5 
  There was some good times, had our fun and shared our laughter 
C#5                          A5 
  If you could only see it's not meant to be 

         E5                 B5 
So I'll take my time, I'll pave my mind 
   C#5               A5 
We can't go on, I'm sorry if it hurts 
            E5          B5 
But if you realize and realign 
        C#5                A5 
You'll find that this was never gonna work 

            E5                     C#5 
'Cause you take me and break me, I hope you don't hate me 
  F#5                            B5 
I know that you're hurtin', but look what you've done to me 
        E5                      C#5 
You'll push me and shove me, pretend that you love me 
    F#5                        B5 
But now that I'm gone, I don't ever want to meet a girl like you 

E5                      B5                              C#5 
  Help me understand, I    really think you're out your mind 
                              A5 
I hope you find in time, the pain in my eyes was 
E5                           B5                            C#5 
  Stemmin' from my heart, I didn't want this any more than you 
                                    A5 
I could feel it from the start, it filled up the room 

         E5                                B5 
So I'll take my time (I'll take my), i'll pave my mind (I'll pave my mind) 
   C#5               A5 
We can't go on, I'm sorry if it hurts 
            E5          B5 
But if you realize and realign (realize, realign) 
       C#5                 A5 
You'll find that this was never gonna work 

            E5                     C#5 
'Cause you take me and break me, I hope you don't hate me 
  F#5                            B5 
I know that you're hurtin', but look what you've done to me 
        E5                      C#5 
You'll push me and shove me, pretend that you love me 
    F#5                         B5 
But now that I'm gone, I don't ever want to meet a girl like you 

E5 
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh) you 
C#5 
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh) you 
F#5   A5           B5               E5 
    I never wanna meet a girl like you
