I was so in love, and that don't come off in the wash 

Kinda hope it does, though 
                             Am 
'Cause you're seeing someone pretty and I hate her guts 
G                           E 
So I'll be telling you she's nice on the bus home

'Cause you're awful and I miss you and I killed you in my dream last night 
     G 
Even then you didn't care 
       F

    C 
Not friends 
                                             F

God, you haven't changed at all!
