G         Bm      C
How wrong am I for getting over you
G         Bm         C
How wrong am I for playing the same ol' fool
G                 Bm        C
But how wrong are you for playing with my heart
G              Bm          C                     D
I guess being lonely is a mighty good place to start

Chorus:
         C                     D
So baby don't mind these those empty sheets
G               C
Where you and I used to be
C             D                 G
You made the bed in which you sleep
          C           D
They say hindsight's 20-20
G               D
Well maybe now you'll see.
             G        D        C
I've always been the man you thought i'd never be

Baby I've always been right in front of your eyes
Waitin' on you to change your mind
But that day has come and gone and
I'm sorry you're left behind
I wanna thank you for lettin' me see
the light in someone else's eyes

Chorus:
So baby don't mind those empty sheets
Where you and I used to be
You made the bed in which you sleep
They say hindsights twenty-twenty
And maybe now you'll see
I've always been the man you thought I'd never be

        Em                                G
Well I hope your nights get longer layin' in that
lonely bed
       Em                                     G
And I hope your sheets get colder reliving a love
that's already dead
       Am
And I hope you found what you are looking for and
D
all your selfish pride
       Am                                D
Cause baby you'll be the only one losing any sleep
tonight

Chorus:
So baby don't mind those empty sheets
Where you and I used to be
You made the bed in which you sleep
They say hindsights twenty-twenty
Well maybe now you'll see
I've always been the man you thought I'd never be
Oh you thought I'd never be
