F#           F#maj7
Baby boy I'm looking up
B
And I ain't ever looking back

F#             F#maj7     B
You were giving up on love
  G#m             C#
Funny enough and just like that
F#                F#maj7
Add our futures together you know
                   B
it's just getting better
                G#m
This love isn't it, there will be
   C#         F#
scratching forever
       F#maj7         B
And I never could've told myself
I was stubborn as hell
               G#m
But if I could kiss and tell
           C#
Now with this intel

Chorus:
               F#
I can't believe I wasted one second
F#maj7                          B
Trying to make it work with someone who wasn't you
  D#m
Someone who wasn't
 C           F#
You won't believe the lengths I went to
F#maj7                B
Unnecessary hurt that I put myself through
        D#m             C#  F#
For someone who wasn't you, ooh

Darling you were right on time
I just wish I would have known
To trust it all a little more
'Cause the happiness that was in store
Answered all of my questions,
validated my discretion
And every cliche of romance points your direction
A connection I never felt before
But I wasn't meant to
Now I know for sure
I was waiting for you

Chorus:
I can't believe I wasted one second
Trying to make it work
With someone who wasn't you
Someone who wasn't
You won't believe the lengths I went to
Unnecessary hurt that I put myself through
For someone who wasn't you-ooh-oh-ooh
I didn't know better til I found the best
It's all a lesson; I have no regrets
It's just so silly that
I cried me to sleep at night
Over someone who wasn't you are the one

G#m               A#m
It's so obvious now
(Ain't it funny?)
B                  A#m
It's so obvious now
G#m               A#m
It's so obvious now
        B        C#
It's so obvious now

Baby boy we're looking up
And we ain't ever looking back

Chorus:
I didn't know better 'til I found the best
It's all a lesson; I have no regrets
It's just so silly
I ever cried me to sleep at night
Over someone who wasn't you
If that girl only knew
Someone
Someone who wasn't you
