Well I boxed up those things that you left behind 
      E               C#m          A             B7  
And I gave 'em to goodwill, out of sight, out of mind 
         E           C#m        A                 E 
But it's not workin' out like I hoped that things would 
E        C#m            A                B9      E       
Guess it wouldn't be so bad if it hadn't been so good 
 
I called up my folks and told 'em we were through 
And I was well on my way to getting' over you 
I didn't have to say much 'cause I know they understood 
That it wouldn't be so bad if it hadn't been so good 
 
Bridge: 
C#m         B             A           E 
All our old friends, they ask how you are 
  C#m              B                A       B9 
I tell 'em I don't know and I don't care anymore 
            C#m         B           A            E 
But I can't make them believe me no matter how I try 
            C#m         B        A            B9   
I've got to learn to forget you, learn how to lie 
 
 
Well it isn't like love never hurt me before 
But I always recovered and came back for more 
This time I'm wonderin' whether I should 
Lord, it wouldn't be so bad if it hadn't hurt so good 
 
 
Lead solo 
 
E            C#m     A            E 
We seemed so perfect from where I stood 
E      C#m            A                B9      E       
And it wouldn't be so bad if it hadn't been so good 
E         C#m            A                B9      E       
I know it wouldn't be so bad if it hadn't been so good
