F                C
I still have the t-shirt I bought you
F                C
Never found the right time to give it away
F                C
You may not ever see it but
F                 C
I think you would've liked it anyway

[Chorus]
F                  C             G
It's such a shame, I know you love stripes
F                  C              G
It's such a shame, committed one too many crimes
F                   C              G           F
Word travels fast, I know too much to want it back

[Verse 2]
F                C
I hate lying through my teeth
F                 C
When you make it look so easy
F                 C
I know I talk too much and I know you
F                  C
Never planned on sticking around

[Chorus]
F                   C            G
It's such a shame, I know you love stripes
F                   C             G
It's such a shame, you let me see past your disguise
F                 C              G               F
If I hear one more time that you'll come running back
 G
I might go mad

"Happy birthday" 3 months later
F                     C
Doesn't mean a damn thing, hit me like it's nothing
F                    C
I might keep the t-shirt for myself
F                    C
Wear it like a secret, only when I need it

[Chorus]
F                    C               G
It's such a shame, I know you love stripes
F                    C                G
It's such a shame, 'cause something changed in your eyes
F                     C                G
Kissing under pink skies, never liked my Levi's
G
I just realized
F                        C
I still have the t-shirt I bought you
F                         C
Never found the right time to give it away
