[Verse 1]
               E
They say she's painting the town red even though she once said
E
She'd be true
    E
But here from my window the streets up and
E        A         B7
Down are blu-u-u-u-ue

[Chorus 1]
           A                  B7
Guess it's wrong for me to be crying
        G#m                      C#m C
Guess I shouldn't be hurt by the news
    A             B7     A       E
For she was never really mine to lose...

E       C#m
Bam bam bam ba da da
G#m     C#m
Bam bam bam ba da da

[Verse 2]
               E
They say she's never at home by night, staying until dawn lights
E
Up the sky
     E
It's never the same one, always a
          A        B7
Different gu-u-u-u-uy

[Chorus 2]
       A                 B7
If she only knew what it feels like
         G#m                     C#m  C
Tossed a-way like an old pair of shoes
    A             B7     A       E
For she was never really mine to lose...

E       C#m
Bam bam bam ba da da

[Verse 3]
   F
So when they ask about her, what it's like without her,
F
All I'd say
   F
It hasn't been easy, but I'll love a-
          A#       C
-gain someda-a-a-a-ay

[Chorus 3]
      A#                      C
And I hope and pray she'll be happy
     Am                          Dm    D
With some buddy, guy that she'll choose
    A#            F      A#      F
For she was never really mine to lose...

[Outro]
    A#            C      A#         F
No, she was never really mine... to lose
