Same bed, but it feels just a little bit bigger now
 D                             D7                                   G                           D/F# 
Our song on the radio, but it don't sound the same

When our friends talk about you all it does is just tear me down

Mmm too young, too dumb to realize
           D                                           C           D                           G 
That I should've bought you flowers and held your hand

Shoulda gave you all my hours when I had the chance

Take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance
 A7                       C                                   Cm                                     G                               Bm

My pride, my ego, my needs and my selfish ways

Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life

Now I'll never, never get to clean up the mess I made ooh

And that haunts me every time I close my eyes

Take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance

Now my baby's dancing, but she's dancing with another man
(Bridge)
                         C                                 D                                             G  DEm  Bm 
Although it hurts I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
             A7 
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
                       Am 
To try and apologize for my mistakes
                       D 
But I just want you to know
(Chorus)
                                       C           D                                           G 
I hope he buys you flowers, I hope he holds your hand
                                   C       D                     G 
Give you all his hours when he has the chance
                                     C                         D                                         Em 
Take you to every party cause I remember how much you love to dance

Do all the things I should've done when I was your man
 A7                                   C                         Cm                             G 
Do all the things I should've done when I was your man
