Maybe he was wrong, but then she fooled him all along, he was the best she had
AC#mBmDE
"Get even right away," that was her mantra for the day, he wasn't good or bad
AC#mBmDE
She asked me for a dance, and "yes, I'd love to, but I can't" was what I meant to say
AC#mBmDE
Before the words came out, I was already at her house, I guess I'll have to stay
[Chorus]
AC#m
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
BmF#m
I can't believe it has been so long
AC#m
Tell me, why won't you tell me?
BmA
It's just as well these days are gone
[Instrumental]
AC#mBmDE
[Verse]
AC#mBmDE
He would never know, and though I would, she swears he won't, it was a small mistake
AC#mBmDE
You really can't blame me, but I'm fairly sure that he has something else to say
AC#mBmDE
He promises revenge, I should've tried to make amends, and we should end this here
AC#mBmDE
Well, I'd apologize, but it's too late, and I know why, this is goodbye, my dear
[Chorus]
AC#m
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
BmF#m
I can't believe it has been so long
AC#m
Tell me, why won't you tell me?
BmA
It's just as well these days are gone
[Bridge]
BmADE
Every day now she finds memories when she shuts her eyes
BmADE
Since it hurts her to sleep, she stays up all night long forgetting memories with me
AC#mBmDE
I tried to cut and run, that little girl's just so much fun, God help me if it's love
AC#mBmDE
It's nothing of the sort, she'll roll the bass player just for sport, let's sweep under the rug
[Verse]
AC#m
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
BmF#m
I can't believe it has been so long
AC#m
Tell me, why won't you tell me?
BmA
It's just as well these days are gone
N.C
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
N.C
I can't believe it has been so long
N.C
Tell me, why won't you tell me?
N.C A
It's just as well these days are gone
