Intro

Gmaj7  Am /// C

Verse

G                          C

Back in the day when we were best friends

G                        C

Ridin’ all night long

G                                  C

Something about us made us think

G                             C                   

It wouldn’t go all wrong

 

Verse

G                            C

Time is thick and sometimes quick

G                            C

It didn’t last that long

G                                C

You moved on and I grew strong

G                                C

------ Music only -----

 

Chorus

D                                                               C

Well I’m not the one who made you lonely

D                                                 C

I’m not the one ‘said I didn’t care

D                                                      C

I’m not the one who made you shed a tear

C                                                Gmaj7

I’m just the one who wasn’t there

 

 

Bridge

Gmaj7  Am /// C

 

Verse

G                                   C

As years went on misfortune hit you hard

G                                C

You blame a lot on me

G                                        C

How could I know what you were going through

G                                 C

You left a long time ago

 

Chorus

D                                                               C

Well I’m not the one who made you lonely

D                                                 C

I’m not the one ‘said I didn’t care

D                                                      C

I’m not the one who made you shed a tear

C                                                G

I’m just the one who wasn’t there
