Capo on 5th Fret
Intro G
G D Em
No you never were one for resting easy were ya
C G D
So much that when they told me how you left us here behind
G D Em
That I didn’t even bat an eye believing
C G D
In words I should have said to make you stay but couldn’t find
C D G D C
I just hoped that road would one day watch you walk right back to me
D
‘Till then I’ll be
G
Jet black and jealous
G D Em
And I’ll dare not let ‘em know that now you’re gone
C G D
How I’ll still be a fool for the way we used to be
G D Em
I just keep laughin’ out loud and play along
C G D
As if I traded you for one the way you traded me
C D
‘Cause with your beat up bag and your laced up shoes
G D C
You walked right out the door
D
And I hit the floor
G
Jet black and jealous
Chorus:
G C Em D
Tell me how was I to know
G C Em D
Tell me how can I let go
C D
Well I know wherever you are tonight
G D C
You look just like a queen
D
Stealing the scene
G
Jet black and jealous
G D Em
And I bet by now you’re rolling through Pittsburgh
C G
Watching the rain in passing headlights
D
From some roadside corner booth
G D Em
Still smiling ‘bout the choices that you made
C G
Hoping the clouds are breaking up ahead
D
Skies blue instead of grey
C D
But if you get out there and you find
G D C D
That it’s not what you thought it'd be, remember me
G
Jet black and jealous
Repeat Chorus
C D
Yeah if you get out there and you find
G D C D
That it’s not what you thought it’d be, come back to me
G C Em D
Tell me how
G C Em D
Tell me how was I to know
G C Em D
Tell me how was I to know
