_ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [F] _ _ It's [Em] probably better [Dm] anyhow.

Damn, of all the places you could go,
I just thought you'd choose somewhere that has [G] somebody that you know.
I'm always up too late, [C] I worry about you there alone,
In that place you call your home, warm nights in Coltrane.
I hope you don't get knocked for nothing crazy,
Cause no man ever wants to hear those stories about his lady.
[G] I know they say the first love is the sweetest,
But that [C] first cut is the deepest.
I try to keep us together, [G] you were busy keeping secrets,
Secrets you were telling everybody but me.
Don't be fooled by the money, I'm still just young and unlucky,
I'm surprised you [Dm] couldn't tell.
