[Opening]
[Dm] [G] [C] [F] [Dm] [G] [C]
[C]Hey, this is a story I [C]hate
And telling it might make me [C]break
But I’ll tell it [F] [G]anyway
This chapter’s [C]about
How you said there was nobody [C]else
Then you got up and went to her [C]house
You guys always left me [F] [G]out

[chorus]
I [C]still have the letter you wrote when you told me
That [G]I was the only girl you’d ever want in your [Dm]life
I guess my friends were [Fm]right

[chorus]
Each day goes [Dm]by and each night, I [G]cry
Somebody [C]saw you with her last [F]night
You gave me your [Dm]word, “Don’t worry ’bout [G]her”
You might love her [C]now, but you loved me [C]first
Said you’d never [Dm]hurt me, but here we [G]are
Oh, you [C]swore on [G]every [Am]star
How could you [Dm]be so [G]reckless with my [C]heart?

[section 2]
You check in and [C]out
Of my heart like a [C]hotel
And she must be perfect, oh [C]well
I hope you both go to [F] [G]hell

[chorus]
I [C]still have the letter you wrote when you told me
That [G]I was the only girl you’d ever want in your [Dm]life
I guess my friends were [Fm]right

[chorus]
Each day goes [Dm]by and each night, I [G]cry
Somebody [C]saw you with her last [F]night
You gave me your [Dm]word, “Don’t worry ’bout [G]her”
You might love her [C]now, but you loved me [C]first
Said you’d never [Dm]hurt me, but here we [G]are
Oh, you [C]swore on [G]every [Am]star
How could you [Dm]be so [G]reckless with my [C]heart? [A](Heart)

[section 3]
How could you [Dm]be so [G]reckless?
How [C] [G]could [Am]you [Dm]be so [G]reckless with someone’s [C]heart?

[Closing]
[C]Hey, this is a story I [C]hate
But I told it to cope with the [C]pain
I’m so sorry if you can [F]relate
