It's a pretty simple song as long as you listen for the rhythm.
There is on small riff between every transition from G to Em. Simply walk down
3-2-0 on the E string.
Open on the Chorus:
G Em C G
I would be sad because you left me all alone.
G Em C G
I would be sad because the lies that you had told.
G Em C D
I would be sad because I got left by a girl that I adore.
G Em C G
I would be sad because the love I had before.
Verse 1:
G Em C
I meant what I said when I said I would settle down with you although I know
D
it's not something that you were asking me to do.
G Em C
And I know we are young but we won't always be, so marry me; lets not be
D
that predictable young couple changing, moving on.
G Em
But I can tell by watching you that theres no chance of pushing through.
C D
The odds are so against us; you know most young love it ends like this.

Em
especially not someone who's not loving me.
C D
Now listen here I told you I could live on with out loving you.
C D
I was bluffing then, but it seems that just might have been the truth.
G Em
Well my dad told me, "One day son, this girl will think of what she's done
C D
and hurting you will be the first of many more regrets to come."

I say, "It's not that simple see, but then again it just may be."
