When I was your girl
                     E 
I didn't know that I would
                                 Am 
end where you begin
                                               E5 
more beautiful in your skin
                                 C 
No matter of regret
                                   E 
this loosening curl
                           Am 
Teasing you out
                                     E5 
When I was your girl
                 C                                               E                                   Am 
In my room you said we'll stay here for an endless year
                         F                                                 C 
Close the door we're letting no one near
                                   E       Am 
When I was your girl
                                     E5 
When I was your girl
                       C 
And then today
                                                         E 
All the nightmares came my way
                                                       Am 
All the tears I tried to stay
                                       F 
You were never satisfied
                                     C 
When I was your girl
                                     G 
When I was your girl
                                 C 
And when I was she
                           E 
I'd put on every coat
                                             Am 
To wear the weather down
                                   E5 
But even in the sun
                                             C 
You said you tasted rain
                                   E 
I watched you unfurl
                               Am 
You held on to me
                                   E5 
When I was your girl
                 C                             E                                                   Am 
In my cups I see you watching from the edge of the bed
                             F                                       C 
I'm sinking words that you never said
                                     E       Am 
When I was your girl
                                     E5 
When I was your girl
                         C 
And then today
                                                     E 
I'll be keeping out your way
                                               Am 
Every debt they owe I pay
                                           F 
They were never satisfied
                                     C 
When I was your girl
                                     G 
When I was your girl

                                 C 
We tore out a page
                                             E 
Impolitely quit the stage
                                                   Am 
Into corners sweep our rage
                                                       F 
I would never leave you crying
                                     C 
When I was your girl
                                     G 
When I was your girl
                                     F
