E           C#m                 B        A
You held my hand and walked me home, I know.
E                     C#m                         B                      A
Why you gave me that kiss it was something like this it made me go oh-oh.
E             C#m                      B                          A
You wiped my tears, got rid of all my fears, why did you have to go?
E                      C#m                    B                          A
Guess it wasn't enough to take up some of my love, guys are so hard to trust.

    A                   C#m
Did I not tell you that I'm not like that girl?
    A                      B
The one who gives it all away.

Chorus:
C#m                       A                   E        B
Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
C#m                        A                     E     B
Did you think that it was something I was gonna do and cry?
C#m           A               E
Don't try to tell me what to do,
              B                A  
Don't try to tell me what to say,
                        B
You're better off that way.

Don't think that your charm
And the fact that your arm is now around my neck
Will get you in my pants
I'll have to kick your ass to make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop
I thought I liked you a lot, but I'm really upset (Really upset)
So get outta my head, get off of my bed
Yeah, that's what I said

    A                   C#m
Did I not tell you that I'm not like that girl
    A                       B
The one who throws it all away.

Chorus

 A                                      E
This guilt trip that you put me on won't,
mess me up I've done no wrong.
F#m                                    A B
Any thoughts of you and me have gone away.

Chorus

Better off that way
I'm better off alone anyway
