I [C]still have the letter you wrote when you told me

Each day goes [Dm]by and each night, I [G]cry
Somebody [C]saw you with her last [F]night

You might love her [C]now, but you loved me [C]first

You might love her [C]now, but you loved me [C]first
Said you’d never [Dm]hurt me, but here we [G]are
Oh, you [C]swore on [G]every [Am]star
