FI can see you standing,

honeyDmwith his arms around your body

FLaughin but the joke's not funny atDmall

FAnd it took you five whole minutes

toDmpack us up and leave me with it

FHoldin' all this love out here in theDmhall

BbI think I'veCseen this film beDmfore

And ICdidn't like the ending

BbYou're not myChomeland anyDmmore

SoCwhat am I defendingBbnow?

You were myCtown, now I'm inDmexile,

seein' youFout

BbI think I'veCseen this film beDmfore

FOoh, ooh, ooh.DmOoh, ooh, ooh

FOoh, ooh, ooh.Dm

FI can see you starin',

honeyDmlike he's just your understudy

FLike you'd get your knuckles bloody forDmme

FSecond, third, and hundredth chances

Dmbalancin' on breaking branches

FThose eyes add insult to injuryDm

BbI think I'veCseen this film beDmfore

And ICdidn't like the ending

BbYou're not myChomeland anyDmmore

SoCwhat am I defendingBbnow?

You were myCtown, now I'm in

Dmexile, seein' youFout

BbI think I'veCseen this film beDmfore

So I'mCleaving out the side doorF

So stepDmright out, there is no aCmount

Of cryingBbI can do for you all thisFtime

We always walked a very thinDmline

You didn't even hear meCout

(You didn't even hear me out)

You never gave a warningBbsign

(I gave so many signs) all thisFtime

I never learned to read yourDmmind

(Never learned to read my mind)

I couldn't turn things aCround

(You never turned things around)

'Cause you never gave a warningBbsign

(I gave so manyFsigns)

So manyDmsigns, so manyCsigns.

You didn't even see theBbsigns

BbI think I'veCseen this film beDmfore

And ICdidn't like the ending

BbYou're not myChomeland anyDmmore

SoCwhat am I defendingBbnow?

You were myCtown,

now I'm inDmexile, seein' youFout

BbI think I'veCseen this film beDmfore

So stepDmright out, there is no aCmount

Of cryingBbI can do for you all thisFtime

We always walked a very thinDmline

You didn't even hear meCout

(You didn't even hear me out)

You never gave a warningBbsign

(I gave so many signs) all thisFtime

I never learned to read yourDmmind

(Never learned to read my mind)

I couldn't turn things aCround

(You never turned things around)

'Cause you never gave a warningBbsign

(I gave so manyFsigns)

So manyDmsigns, so manyCsigns.

You didn't even see theBbsigns

You never gave a warning sign (All this time)

(So many signs)

I never learned to read yourDmmind

(So many signs) I couldn't turn things

aCround (I couldn't turn things around)

'Cause you never gave a warningBbsign

(You never gave a warning sign)

You never gave a warningFsign.
