Well I boxed up those things that you left behind
      E               C#m          A             B7 
And I gave ‘em to goodwill, out of sight, out of mind
         E           C#m        A                 E
But it’s not workin’ out like I hoped that things would
E        C#m            A                B9      E      
Guess it wouldn’t be so bad if it hadn’t been so good

I called up my folks and told ‘em we were through
And I was well on my way to getting’ over you
I didn’t have to say much ‘cause I know they understood
That it wouldn’t be so bad if it hadn’t been so good

All our old friends, they ask how you are
  C#m              B                A       B9
I tell ‘em I don’t know and I don’t care anymore
            C#m         B           A            E
But I can’t make them believe me no matter how I try
            C#m         B        A            B9  
I’ve got to learn to forget you, learn how to lie


Well it isn’t like love never hurt me before
But I always recovered and came back for more
This time I’m wonderin’ whether I should
Lord, it wouldn’t be so bad if it hadn’t hurt so good

We seemed so perfect from where I stood
E      C#m            A                B9      E      
And it wouldn’t be so bad if it hadn’t been so good
E         C#m            A                B9      E      
I know it wouldn’t be so bad if it hadn’t been so good
