Verse 1
F#m

 (F sharp minor) I woke up with a headache  (B major) today

F#m 
B 
 (F sharp minor) And, girl, it's funny to me  (B major) 
Emaj7 
how much I hate your memory  (E minoraj7) 
Amaj9 
But unlike you, it'll always be  (A minoraj9) with me
B 
No matter how bad I wanted to leave  (B major) 

Verse 2

Started smoking cigarettes again

But I only light a few

'cause you're not here to tell me I can't

And, girl, I wish I could say

whiskey helps to drown the pain

But it only helps to drive me insane

Every time I hear your name

Emaj7 
Probably found you someone  (E minoraj7) new

who's got his life all fi (A minoraj9) gured    out
F#m 
 (F sharp minor) As for me,

I stay locked up  (B major) in this old bedroom

Writing songs  (E minoraj7) for you
Amaj9 
and thinking about us  (A minoraj9)

Girl, I thought it was love  (B major)

Most chord-change problems come from the strumming hand, not the fretting hand. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and timing that make any chord progression easier to play. Practice basic strumming
