(No Capo)

Intro.:  |(Am) |(C) |(Em) |(F) |(Am) |(C) |(F) |(G) |

(Am) There's nothing crazy, (C)nothing new, (Em) always knowin' I wasn't (F)good enough for you
(Am) You were the diamonds, and (C)I the thief, (F)ooo, (G)ooo

(Am) You said you loved me, but (C)just for kiss, (Em) another name on a (F)long, long list
(Am) You left me broken, beaten (C)blind, black and (F)blue (G)

(Chorus)
This ain't the (C)first time, it won't be the (Am)last time
I'm hopin' that (F)some time, someone will break your (G)heart
When you're barely (C)breathin', lookin' for a (Am)reason
Hope he says he's just (F)leavin', from the very (G)start, --- hope it tears you apart

Solo:  |(Am) |(C) |(Em) |(F) |(Am) |(C) |(F) |(G) |

(Am) You build him up then you (C)toss him 'round, (Em) you light a match and you (F)burn him down
(Am) Then you lay him in the (C)cold, cold ground, (F) black and (G)blue

(Chorus)
This ain't the (C)first time, it won't be the (Am)last time
I'm hopin' that (F)some time, someone will break your (G)heart
When you're barely (C)breathin', lookin' for a (Am)reason
Hope he says he's just (F)leavin', from the very (G)start, --- hope it tears you apart

Solo:  (Am) x 4 bars

'Cause (Dm)I (G) might (C)look alright on the (Am)outside
But (Dm)I (G) know it ain't (F)true, black and (G)blue

(Chorus)
'Cause, this ain't the (C)first time, it won't be the (Am)last time
I'm hopin' that (F)some time, someone will break your (G)heart
When you're barely (C)breathin', lookin' for a (Am)reason
Hope he says he's just (F)leavin', from the very (G)start, hope it tears you apart

Outro.:  (Am) x repeat to end
