Intro: B₇ Bm₇ | A
       B₇ Bm₇ | A A A E/G#

F#m              A
Same bed, but it feels
                  Bm
Just a little bit bigger now.
E
Our song on the radio,
             A               C#m/G#
But it don’t sound the same.
F#m                    A
When our friends talk about you
                    Bm
All it does is just tear me down,
E
‘Cause my heart breaks a little
           A
When I hear your name.

      A/G#                 F#m
   It all just sounds like ooh,
              C#m
   Ooh, ooh, ooh.
    G                             A/E
   Mm, too young, too dumb to realize

Chorus:
          E                        D
     That I should have bought you flowers
   E               A
     And held your hand,
                                 D     E
     Should have gave you all my hours
                   A
     When I had the chance,
                       D
     Take you to every party
                    E                F#m
     ‘Cause all you wanted to do was dance.
     B₇            D
     Now my baby’s dancing,
               Dm                   A
     But she’s dancing with another man.

Instrumental: A | A A A E/G#

My pride, my ego,
My needs and my selfish ways
‘Caused a good strong woman
Like you to walk out my life.
Now I never, never get
To clean up the mess I made, oh.
And it haunts me every time
I close my eyes.

   It all just sounds like ooh,
   Ooh, ooh, ooh.
   Mm, too young, too dumb to realize

Chorus:
     That I should have bought you flowers
     And held your hand,
     Should have gave you all my hours
     When I had the chance,
     Take you to every party
     ‘Cause all you wanted to do was dance.
     Now my baby’s dancing,
     But she’s dancing with another man.

               D                 E
   Although it hurts I’ll be the first
                     A E/G# F#m C#m/E
   To say that I was wrong.
         B₇
   Oh, I know I’m probably much too late
               Bm₇
   To try and apologize for my mistakes,
               E
   But I just want you to know

Chorus:
     I hope he buys you flowers,
     I hope he holds your hand,
     Give you all his hours
     When he has the chance,
     Take you to every party
                E
     ‘Cause I remember
                        F#m
     How much you loved to dance,
     B₇                 D                 Dm
     Do all the things I should have done
                     A
     When I was your man,
     B₇                 D                 Dm
     Do all the things I should have done
                     A
     When I was your man.
