Verse 1
D 
I tore all the pictures from all
of their frames
Em 
And  all of your T- shirts, I gave them away
A 
I gave up those friends we
both hung around
G 
And I gave up that bar on
A 
the east side of town
D 
I quit driving by to see if you're home
Em 
And I took your dead number
right out of my phone
A 
I came to my senses and I
gave up drinking alone
D

But I kept the roses
D 
Right by my bed

And they should make me lonely
A 
But I'm smiling instead

'Cause you weren't the one, babe
Bm 
But you were the closest
G 
A 
I let the rest of us go

Oh, but some things, they just wilt away
