[Opening]
[F] [Am] [G]
The way you felt [F]in my arms, our chemistry was sacred
Oh, I fell [Am]for your charm, I was so [G]infatuated
But you left [F]me in the dark and my heart completely vacant
Now I don’t [Am]know-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [G]
[verse 2]
Is your heart [F]just pre-conditioned for brevity?
I don’t mean to accuse [Am]you of refusing longevity [G]
But I cannot excuse [F]you for abusing my empathy
[Am]My empathy [G]
[chorus]
[F]I can take rejection, [Am]but you gave [G]the impression
[F]That this was the inception, [Am]of something [G]real
[chorus]
The way you felt [F]in my arms, our chemistry was sacred
Oh, I fell [Am]for your charm, I was so [G]infatuated
But you left [F]me in the dark and my heart completely vacant
Now I don’t [Am]know-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [G]
How you could [F]look me in the eye and tell me that you love me
When you [Am]knew it was a lie, I was headed [G]for Kentucky
When you [F]called to say goodbye, how did I not see it coming?
Now I [Am]don’t know-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [G]

For always [Am]ignoring my brain when it [G]says to me
