C C/B Am
No you never were one for resting easy were ya
F C G
So much that when they told me how you left us here behind
C C/B Am
That I didn't even bat an eye believing
F C G
In words I should have said to make you stay but couldn't find
F G C
I just hoped that road would one day watch you walk
G F
right back to me
F G - F
Till then I'll be
F C
Jet black and jealous
C C/B Am
And I'll dare not let em know that now you're gone
F C G
How I'll still be a fool for the way we used to be
C C/B Am
I just keep laughin' out loud and play along
F C G
As if I traded you for one the way you traded me
F G
Cause with your beat up bag and your laced up shoes
C G F
You walked right out the door
F G - F
And I hit the floor
F C
Jet black and jealous
Chorus:
C F - C - G
Tell me how was I to know
C F - C - G
Tell me how can I let go
F G
Well I know wherever you are tonight
C G F
You look just like a queen
F G - F
Stealing the scene
F C
Jet black and jealous
C C/B Am
And I bet by now you're rolling through Pittsburgh
F C
Watching the rain in passing headlights
G
From some roadside corner booth
C C/B Am
Still smiling bout the choices that you made
F C
Hoping the clouds are breaking up ahead
G
Skies blue instead of grey
F G
But if you get out there and you find
C G F
That it's not what you thought it be
F G - F
Remember me
F C
Jet black and jealous
Repeat Chorus
F G
Yeah if you get out there and you find
C G F G - F
That it's not what you thought it'd be, come back to me
C F - C - G
Tell me how
C F - C - G
Tell me how was I to know
C F - C - G
Tell me how was I to know
Fade out
