[Intro]
G C Am
Em C G


[Verse]
     G
When I heard you were gone
    C                    Am
And tried to fake a yawn
  Em
Inside my head my thoughts ran red
       C                                 G
But it didn’t last too long (I'm feeling wrong now)
G
Well I heard that you don't care
  C                       Am
I hear it everywhere (no, no no, no)
Em
Your life is new and happy too
   C
At least that’s what I hear


[Chorus]
G    G    D      Em
Hey, back in the day
Am         C
I rejected you but still
G
Ooooh
G    D            Em
Been through with you
    Am              C           Em
But pride is such a bitter pill


[Verse]
       G
Well I heard you got around
     C                  Am
When I was out downtown
       Em
You’re damaged goods for good for now
    C
You never were much good no-how
G
Well I heard you met your end
  C                           Am
I heard it from a friend (no, no no, no)
   Em
It made me sad to feel so glad
  C
I guess my heart now too is dead


[Chorus]
G    G    D      Em
Hey, back in the day
Am         C
I rejected you but still
G
Ooooh
G    D            Em
Been through with you
    Am              C           Em
But pride is such a bitter pill


[Bridge]
F             Em
Where does it all begin
A#               C                      G
Where there's no start, well there's no end
F            Em
Like a comet in the sky
A#           C                G        G D Em D
This tale is long, but has no eyes

G      G D Em     D
G      G D Em     D

Am    C
Oooh, ooh
   G
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow
   Em
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow
   G
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow
   Em
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow
   G
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow
   Em
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow
   G
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow
   Em
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow


[Outro]
Am                     C
I didn’t want you when you were around
  Am                  C
I hate to hear you’re safe and sound
  Am
I don’t want you back, girl
C               G
I just want you down
