G                       C
A love song was playing on the radio
G                                 D                G
It made me kind of sad because it made me think of you
G                                    C
And I wonder how you're doing, but I wish I didn't care
G                                        D        G
Because I gave you all I had and got the worst of you

[Chorus]
Em                     C
By the way, I forgive you
C
After all, maybe I should thank you
    G
For giving me what I've found

Cause without you around
          D                D7
I've been doing just fine
                                G    G/F# Em  D
Except for any time I hear that song (ooh ooh ooh)

[Verse 2]
G                                       C
And didn't it break your heart when you watched my smile fading
G                                            D                   G
Did it ever cross your mind that one day the tables would be turned
G                                   C
They told me the best revenge would be a life well lived
G                                             D               G
And the strongest one that holds would be the hardest one to earn

[Chorus]
Em                    C
By the way, I forgive you

After all, maybe I should thank you
G
For giving me what I've found

Cause without you around
          D                D7
I've been doing just fine
                                G    G/F# Em  D  D7
Except for any time I hear that song (ooh ooh ooh)
                         G    G/F# Em  D    G
Oh, any time I hear that song (ooh ooh ooh)

[Verse 3]
G                                    C
When I woke up in the morning I was choking on some words
G                                                 D                   G
There were things unsaid between us, there were things you never told
       G                                 C
That's twice you broke my heart now, the first was way back when
G                                           D              G
And to know that you're still unhappy only makes it break again

[Chorus]
Em                    C
By the way, I forgive you

After all, maybe I should thank you
G
For giving me what I've found

Cause without you around
            D              D7
I've been doing just fine

Em                      C
By the way, I forgive you

I never will, never will forget you
G
For giving me what I've found

Cause without you around
           D               D7
I've been doing just fine
                                G    G/F# Em  D  D7
Except for any time I hear that song (ooh ooh ooh)

[Outro]
                         G    G/F# Em  D  D7
Oh, any time I hear that song (ooh ooh ooh)
                         G    G/F# Em  D  
Oh, any time I hear that song (ooh ooh ooh)
