G
The sky looked blue to me
D
Guess I just couldn't see
Em
The writing on the wall, how could I know
C
I was about to fall, well here I go
G 
Your smile was just a poker face
D
Said I could never be replaced
Em
I guess you told a lie, said we'd always be
C
Together, you and I, but suddenly

Em                       D
You say there's a tear
C
Caught me unprepared

G
Next time warn me before
D
I find my heart on the floor
Em                                                  C
Should have known that I don't like surprises, baby
G
Cause I'm still feeling it hard
D
Caught me way off guard
Em
Why am I the last to know,
C
When baby all I'm asking for is
G
Gimme a heads up, won't you, won't you
D
Gimme a heads up, oh
Em
Gimme a heads up, gimme a heads up
C*                             G
Before you tear me down

G D Em C

G
Too late, it isn't fair
D
Came straight from out of nowhere
Em
Don't even get the chance to play my part
C                                 [stop]
Come from behind and smash my fragile heart
G
You say it's for the best
D
That way you get it over fast
Em
It's just a little rip when you catch me blind
C
You pull the band-aid quick but baby I

Em                        D
Still don't see the tear
C
But you're sure it's there

G
Next time warn me before
D
I find my heart on the floor
Em                                                  C

Before you tear me down

G

Em                            D
You thought it'd be easy, you thought it'd be clean
C                                             G                   D
Snap me awake while I'm still dreaming my dream
Em                            D
Escape on your own terms, just start moving on
C                                             D                   G
You're miles away, here I am thinking nothing is wrong

Yeah

G
Next time warn me before
