3 [C]am and I’m still awake, I’ll [Am]bet you’re just [G]fine
Fast [F]asleep in your city that’s [G]better than mine
And the [C]girl in your bed has a [Am]fine pedi[G]gree
And I’ll [F]bet your friends tell you she’s [G]better than me, huh


[C] [Am] [G] [F] [G]
Well, I [C]tried to fit in with your [Am]upper-crust [G]circles
Yeah, they [F]let me sit in back when [G]we were in love
Oh, they [C]sit around talking about the [Am]meaning of [G]life
And the [F]book that just saved ’em that I [G]hadn’t heard of


But [F]now that we’re done and it’s [C]over, [F]I bet you couldn’t [C]believe
When you [Am]realized I’m harder to forget than I was to [G]leave
And I bet you think about me [C] [Am] [G] [F] [G]


You grew [C]up in a silver-spoon [Am]gated [G]community
[F]Glamorous, shiny, bright [G]Beverly Hills
I was [C]raised on a farm, no, it [Am]wasn’t a [G]mansion
Just [F]living room dancing and [G]kitchen table bills


But you [C]know what they say, you can’t [Am]help who you [G]fall for
And [F]you and I fell like an [G]early spring snow
But [C]reality crept in, you [Am]said we’re too [G]different
You [F]laughed at my dreams, rolled your [G]eyes at my jokes


[F]Mr. Superior [C]Thinking
Do you [F]have all the space that you [C]need?
I don’t [Am]have to be your shrink to know that you’ll never be [G]happy
And I bet you think about [C]me [Am] [G] [F]


[G]I bet you think about [C]me, yes, [Am]I [G]bet you [F]think about [G]me


[F]Oh, [C]block it all out, the [G]voices so loud, sayin’
[Am]”Why did you [G]let her [F]go?” Does it [C]make you feel sad
That the [G]love that you’re looking for, is the love that you [F]had?


Now you’re [C]out in the world, [Am]searching for your [G]soul
Scared [F]not to be hip, [G]scared to get old
Chasing [C]make-believe status, last [Am]time you felt [G]free
Was when [F]none of that shit mattered ’cause [G]you were with me


But [F]now that we’re done and it’s [C]over, [F]I bet it’s hard to [C]believe
That it [Am]turned out I’m harder to forget than I was to [G]leave
And, yeah, I bet you think about me [Am] [G] [F]


[G]I bet you think about [C]me, yes, [Am]I [G]bet you [F]think about me


[G]I bet you think about [C]me when you’re out
At your [Am]cool indie [G]music concerts [F]every week
[G]I bet you think about [C]me in your house
With your [Am]organic [G]shoes and your [F]million-dollar couch
[G]I bet you think about [C]me when you say
“Oh my [Am]God, she’s [G]insane, she wrote a [F]song about me”
[G]I bet you think about [C]me
