[Verse]
Em Bm
Of all the ways it could′ve gone, this is the worst case
G
She didn't even pack a suitcase
D
Just a change of clothes in a backpack
A
No give a damn left, no looking back
Bm G
She′ll get as far as she can go on a tank of gas
D
She ain't wastin' time on a second chance
A
She′s about as gone as a girl can get (can get}
[Chorus]
Bm
I should′ve seen it coming, maybe then I wouldn't have to see her
G
Running out the door in the pouring rain
D
Should′ve given her a reason not to ever think of leavin'
A
Now a "Baby, I′m sorry" is just a little too late
Bm G
I should've been hell bent on making her wanna stay
D
I should′ve never put her second in the first place
A
Should've never put her second in the first place

Em Bm
If I hadn't put us in a bad position, yeah

D
It didn′t have to end
Wouldn't have to try again
A
But that's looking back with 20/20 vision
[Chorus]
Bm
I should′ve seen it coming, maybe then I wouldn't have to see her
G
Running out the door in the pouring rain
D
Should′ve given her a reason not to ever think of leavin'
A
Now a "Baby, I′m sorry" is just a little too late
Bm G
I should've been hell bent on making her wanna stay
D
I should′ve never put her second in the first place
A
Should've never put her second in the first place

D A
[Break]
Bm G
She′ll get as far as she can go on a tank of gas (gas)
D A
And I'm the only one living in the past
Looking at an empty glass
[Chorus]
Bm
I should′ve seen it coming, maybe then I wouldn't have to see her
G
Running out the door in the pouring rain
D
Should′ve given her a reason not to ever think of leavin'
A

Aw, should've been hell bent on making her wanna stay

Bm G
No, nooo-oo
[Outro]
