(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 not” (C)
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 home?” (F)

(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 I (G)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 (G)getting hard to tell
I never wanted to (C)be that girl / / / |(Am) / / / |(F) / / / |(G) / / / |

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