G#                D# 
Somebody told me they saw you with her
C#
They even called out my name
D#
Thinking I was that girl
G#                                 D# 
She wears the same kind of make up
                     C#
And the same colour hair, well she’s a wannabe me
           D#
And she’s even got it down to the clothes I wear

C#                         D#
So you can try to replace me
                       Fm
And start all over again
                               D#
But what you just don’t understand

Chorus:
                      G#
You had it right the first time
                      Cm
But you weren’t satisfied
                   C#
I gave you all of me
                                D#
So you had no reason to think twice
                      G#
You had it right the first time
             Cm
But you were so blind
         C#              Cm           A#m   D#
'Cause there’ll never be no better me to find
                      Fm
You had it right the first time

She can wear the same perfume
And she can hold your hand
Yeah, she can make you smile, but not the way I can
I hope she doesn't get used to being so attached
'Cause she will never be me, no
So it just won't last

So you can try to upgrade me
Yeah, you can dream like that
But you might as well face the fact

Chorus

Fm
You can keep searching around
 C 
Thinking that we’re all the same
 B  
But I’ll always be the best you found
       A# 
And that’s one thing that just won’t change
         C#              Cm            A#m   D#
‘Cause there’ll never be no better me, oh no
      C#              Cm            A#m   D#
No, there’ll never be no better me, oh no

Chorus:
You had it right the first time
But you weren't satisfied
I gave you all of me
So you had no reason to think twice
You had it right the first time
But you were so blind
'Cause there'll never be no better me to find, no
'Cause there'll never be no better me to find
I know I gotta tell you
There'll never be no better me to find
You had it right the first time
