You kicked me out, I packed my bags

Hair dyed dollar store jet black
             C
You played "Jesus Take The Wheel"

Every day 'til I came ba-ack

                Am          C           Bb
I learned, sometimes, your first don't last
              Am                   Bb

But the room was full of smo-oke
 
                 C
Had to watch my dream fall through
Dm7              Bb        F
 I gave myself a day or two
                  C
And the same champagne that they bought me
   Dm                           Bb
I popped it when they dropped me
 
 
[Chorus]
                Am                      Bb
I learned, sometimes, your first don't last
              Am                   Bb
I learned to scream, I learned to laugh
              C               Dm
I learned to live with my regrets
             Bb
I learned I hate

I remember thirteen
     Dm              Bb   F
Tip toes in the deep end
                  C
And the smell of Marlboro Reds
      Dm        Dm7 Bb
Every once in a weekend
 
 
[Chorus]
                Am                      Bb
I learned, sometimes, your first don't last
              Am                   Bb
I learned to scream, I learned to laugh
              C               Dm
I learned to live with my regrets
             Bb
I learned I hate
