Capo on 2nd Fret
 
G                               G/F#
I know I said I loved you but I'm thinking I was wrong,
          Bm                     Em
I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young,
        Am                       D
and I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs 
G                               G/F#
but a guy that I could never get 'cause his girlfriend was pretty fit
      Bm                    Em
and everyone who knew her loved her so 
      Am                        D
and I made you leave her for me and now I'm feeling pretty mean,
       Bm                                         Em                  A     D
but my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know 
 
 
Em                       Am
Maybe I should give up, give in
D                          G
give up trying to be thin,
Em                          Am
give up and turn into my mother,
D                   G
god knows I love her 
G                   Bm                Am                     D
and I'm sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state,
G                Bm                   Am                     D
watch my steady lonesome gait and beware 
G                                Bm
I would never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand
Am                      D
and I can't do it again 
 
     And so on




I know I said I love you but I'm thinking I was wrong
I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young
And I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs
That guy that I could never get, oh his girlfriend was pretty fit
And everyone who knew her loves her so
And I made you leave her for me and now I'm feeling pretty mean
But my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know
Maybe I should give up, give in
Give up trying to be thin
Give up and turn into my mother
God knows I love her
And I'm sorry to whichever man should meet my sorry state
Watch my sturdy, lonesome gait and beware
I will never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand-in-hand
And I can't do it
Again
So we stayed up late one night to try and get our problems right
But I couldn't get into his head just what was going through my mind
Think he knew where I was going, he put Ryan Adams on
I think he thinks it makes me weak, but it only ever makes me strong
I've got this friend who sounds just like him
And he's the man I'd leave you for, the man that I just adore, like you
The same man, he turns to me, he said "I've got to tell you how I feel
If God could make a perfect girl, for me it would be you
And my God told me not to tell about how much do you love your fella?"
I don't know more everyday
Not in this new romantic way
I'll always be your first love
You'll always be my first love
But I'm sorry to whichever man should meet my sorry state
Watch my sturdy, lonesome gait and beware
I will never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand-in-hand
And I can't do it
Again
I will never love a man 'cause I could never hurt a man
Not in this new romantic way

Follow more or less same plucking style as intro for verse (more or less e.g G

The G/F# isn't quite right.

but a guy that I could never get 'cause his girlfriend was pretty fit
and everyone who knew her loved her so.

I know I said I loved you but I'm thinking I was wrong,
I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young,
and I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs.
 
but a guy that I could never get 'cause his girlfriend was pretty fit
and everyone who knew her loved her so.
and I made you leave her for me and now I'm feeling pretty mean,

version 5







Capo on third fret. This sounds okay to me, its not perfect, but its alright for
 a basic structure.
 
G                                                  Em
I know I said I loved you but I'm thinking I was wrong,
G                                      Em
I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young,
Am                                                       D                           G
and I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs.
G                                                                 Em
but a guy that I could never get 'cause his girlfriend was pretty fit
G                                                           Em
and everyone who knew her loved her so.
Am                                                      D
and I made you leave her for me and now I'm feeling pretty mean,

but my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know.
 
Em                                    Am
Maybe I should give up, give in,
D                              G
give up trying to be thin,
Em                                   Am
give up and turn into my mother,

I know I said I love you but I'm thinking I was wrong
I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young
And I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs
That guy that I could never get, oh his girlfriend was pretty fit
And everyone who knew her loves her so
And I made you leave her for me and now I'm feeling pretty mean
But my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know
Maybe I should give up, give in
Give up trying to be thin
Give up and turn into my mother
God knows I love her
And I'm sorry to whichever man should meet my sorry state
Watch my sturdy, lonesome gait and beware
I will never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand-in-hand
And I can't do it
Again
So we stayed up late one night to try and get our problems right
But I couldn't get into his head just what was going through my mind
Think he knew where I was going, he put Ryan Adams on
I think he thinks it makes me weak, but it only ever makes me strong
I've got this friend who sounds just like him
And he's the man I'd leave you for, the man that I just adore, like you
The same man, he turns to me, he said "I've got to tell you how I feel
If God could make a perfect girl, for me it would be you
And my God told me not to tell about how much do you love your fella?"
I don't know more everyday
Not in this new romantic way
I'll always be your first love
You'll always be my first love
But I'm sorry to whichever man should meet my sorry state
Watch my sturdy, lonesome gait and beware

I will never love a man 'cause I could never hurt a man

Capo: 2nd fret
 

 
Depending on versions, some chords may be played arpeggiated (when I write "arpg") or not.
I don't have the courage to tab it down precisely, but it is quite basic arpeggio :)
 
D and D7 also seem to change from one version to another.

Intro
  G*  D7/F#  Bm  Em  Am  D(arpg w/ Dsus4)
 
 
  G*                              D7/F#
I know I said I loved you but I'm thinking I was wrong,
        Bm                  Em
I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young,
      Am                             D7                     G G
and I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs.
 
      G*                                    D7/F#
but a guy that I could never get 'cause his girlfriend was pretty fit
     Bm                             Em
and everyone who knew her loves her so.
      Am                             D(arpg)
and I made you leave her for me and now I'm feeling pretty mean,
       Bm                           Em                            Am       D7(arpg)
but my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know.
 
Em                      Am
Maybe I should give up, give in,
D7                    G
Give up trying to be thin,
Em                       Am
Give up and turn into my mother,
D7(arpg)     G(arpg)
God knows I love her.
 
        G**(arpg)      Bm(arpg)        Am(arpg)      D7(arpg)
and I'm sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state,
          G(**?)        Bm         Am     D7
watch my steady lonesome gait and beware.
        G*                               D7/F#  (as played live, but G - Bm sounds OK)
I would never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand
            Am          D7(arpg?)
and I can't do it again.
 
      G*                          D7/F#
So we stayed up late one night to try and get our problems right,
      Bm                              Em
but I couldn't get into his head just what was going through my mind,
       Am                                 D-Dsus4 arpg
and I think he knew where I was going, he put Ryan Adams on
 
  G*                                   D7/F#
I think he thinks it makes me weak, it only ever makes me strong.
Bm                                   Em
I've got this friend who sounds just like him,
       Am                           D7(arpg)                   G G
he's the man I'd leave you for, the man that I just adore like you.
 
    G*                                     D7/F#
The same man, he turns to me he said "I've got to tell you how i feel,
   Bm                                  Em
if god could make the perfect girl for me it would be you"
   Am                         D(arpg?)
my god told me not tell about how much do you love your fella.
Bm(arpg)                   Em(arpg)
I don't know more everyday
Am(arpg)    D7*          G       [*or D-Dsus4 arpg, depends on versions]
not in this new romantic way.
 
F       Am7              D7(arpg) D7(arpg)
I'll always be your first love,
F       Am7              D7(arpg) D7(arpg)
You'll always be my first love.
 
        G**(arpg)      Bm(arpg)        Am(arpg)      D7(arpg)
and I'm sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state,
          G(**?)         Bm       Am     D7
watch my steady lonesome gait and beware.
        G*                               D7/F#
I would never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand
            Am          D7(arpg?)
and I can't do it again.
 
       G*                               D7/F#
I will never love a man cause I could never hurt a man,
Am(arpg)        D7

I know I said I love you but I'm thinking I was wrong
I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young
And I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs
That guy that I could never get, oh his girlfriend was pretty fit
And everyone who knew her loves her so
And I made you leave her for me and now I'm feeling pretty mean
But my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know
Maybe I should give up, give in
Give up trying to be thin
Give up and turn into my mother
God knows I love her
And I'm sorry to whichever man should meet my sorry state
Watch my sturdy, lonesome gait and beware
I will never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand-in-hand
And I can't do it
Again
So we stayed up late one night to try and get our problems right
But I couldn't get into his head just what was going through my mind
Think he knew where I was going, he put Ryan Adams on
I think he thinks it makes me weak, but it only ever makes me strong
I've got this friend who sounds just like him
And he's the man I'd leave you for, the man that I just adore, like you
The same man, he turns to me, he said "I've got to tell you how I feel
If God could make a perfect girl, for me it would be you
And my God told me not to tell about how much do you love your fella?"
I don't know more everyday
Not in this new romantic way
I'll always be your first love
You'll always be my first love
But I'm sorry to whichever man should meet my sorry state
Watch my sturdy, lonesome gait and beware
I will never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand-in-hand
And I can't do it
Again
I will never love a man 'cause I could never hurt a man
Not in this new romantic way
