Lyrics & chords

[Chorus 1]
I would be [Em]sad because you l[C]eft me all a[G]lone
I would be [Em]sad
because the [C]lies that you had [G]told
I would be [Em]sad
because I [C]got left by a [D]girl that I a[G]dore
I would be [Em]sad because the l[C]ove I had be[G]fore

[Verse 1]
[G]I meant what I said when I said
[Em]I would settle down with you
Al[C]though I know it's not something
that [D]you were asking me to do
And [G]I know we are young
but we won't [Em]always be, so marry me
Let's [C]not be that predictable
young [D]couple changing, moving on
But [G]I can tell by watching you
that [Em]theres no chance of pushing through
The [C]odds are so against us
You know [D]most young love it ends like this

[Chorus 2]
I would be [Em]sad because you l[C]eft me all a[G]lone
I would be [Em]sad
because the [C]lies that you had [G]told
I would be [Em]sad
because I [C]got left by a [D]girl that I a[G]dore
I would be [Em]sad for all the l[C]ove I had be[G]fore

[Verse 2]
[G]I meant what I said when I said
[Bm]I would re[C]arrange
my [D]plans and change for [G]you
You know me, I've always been
the [Em]kind with easy confidence
[C]Confident enough to honest[D]ly
believe that nothing out there [G]stopping me
Especially not [Em]someone who's not loving me
[C]Now listen here I told you
I could [D]live on without loving you
[C]I was bluffing then, but it seems
[D]that just might have been the truth

[Verse 3]
Well [G]my dad told me, "One day son,
this [Em]girl will think of what she's done
And [C]hurting you will be the first
of [D]many more regrets to come"
And [G]he said, "If she doesn't call,
then [Em]it's her fault and it's her loss"
I [C]say, "It's not that simple see,
but [D]then again it just may be"

[Chorus 3]
I would be [Em]sad because you l[C]eft me all a[G]lone
And I would be [Em]sad
for all the [C]lies that you had [G]told me
And I would be [Em]sad
because I [C]got left by a [D]girl that I a[G]dore
I would be [Em]sad for all the l[C]ove I had be[G]fore
I would be [Em]sad for all the l[C]ove I had be[G]fore
