(Intro.)
|(C) / / / |(F) / / / | x 2

(Verse)
He (C)helped me change a tire in the (F)Citgo parking lot
You said we (G)both could use a beer and (F)I said, "Hell, why (C)not"
What (C)started out as one night turned to (F)six months just like that
He (G)never had a ring on, so I (F)never thought to (G)ask
But (Dm)then last night I saw a message on his phone (F)
That said, "(Dm)Hey, babe, what time you coming (F)home?"

(Chorus)
I never wanted to (C)be that girl
I never wanted to (Am)hate myself
I thought this (F)kind of lonely
Only happens (G)to somebody else
Being the (C)other one when there's another one
(Am)God, this feels like hell
I (F)thought I knew who I was
But it's (G)getting hard to tell
I never wanted to (C)be that girl / / / |(F) / / /

(Verse)
I've (C)heard about those women who (F)didn't have a clue
The (G)ones who made excuses like my (F)mama used to do (C)
And (C)he jumps in the shower just as (F)soon as he gets home
And (G)I spend half an hour, (F)going through his (G)phone

(Chorus)
I never wanted to (C)be that girl
I never wanted to (Am)hate myself
I thought this (F)kind of lonely
Only happens (G)to somebody else
And being the (C)other one when there's another one
(Am)God, this feels like hell
I (F)thought I knew who I was
But it's (SG)getting hard to tell
I never wanted to (C)be that giiiiiirl / / / (G/B)|(Am) / / (G)|(F) / / / |(G) / / 

(Break)
Oh, and (Am)I feel stupid
(G)I feel (F)cheap
I feel (Am)used
(G)I feel (F)weak

(Chorus)

I never wanted to (C)be that girl
I never wanted to (Am)hate myself
I thought this (F)kind of lonely
Only happens (G)to somebody else
Being the (C)other one when there's another one
(Am)God, this feels like hell
I (F)thought I knew who I was
But it's (G)getting hard to tell

(Outro.)
I never wanted to (C)be that girl (I never wanted to be that girl) (Am)
I never wanted to (F)be that girl / / / |(G) / / / |(C) - - - - -
