[Verse 1]
Em                        C    G
   I think it's time that I be honest
Em                    C      G
   Should've told you not to go

   But I can tell that you're happy
[Chorus 1]
              Em                 C        G
It's time for me to finally meet somebody new

Take her to all the places that I took us to

And she might help me forget that loving her is something I could never do
C         G
Because I had

Because I had you

   Hey, remember when I told you
                Em                     C    G
   That you and I will go down in history together, yeah
Em                  C        G
   And does your sister ask about me?
