ABOUT A GIRL I KNOW - by Casey

[E] It was bad news, I guess I wasn't [F#m] aware,
[E] Of rumors flying by, or I [F#m] just didn't care.
[G#m] I didn't stay in touch with the [A] buzz, I wasn't in-[B]-spired.

[E] But then I found out you were [F#m] going away,
[E] Leaving me here, you had [F#m] nothin' to say,
[G#m] There were other things in life that, [A] apparently, you [B] desired.

[G#m7] I never really knew I didn't [F#m7] have a chance.
You had some [G#m7] strange ideas about [F#m7] romance.
I said [G#m7] I'd be with you, I'd never [F#m7] let you down.
You said [A] that was OK, but you were [B] never around.

People said I was a foolish man.
I clung to you too long since our together began.
It's pretty clear now that I was never your only one.

I wasn't sure what I should do.
I had to find a way to get over you.
Was I a big joke, was that how you had your fun?

BREAK:

About the news, I pay attention now.
I'm plugged in, it make more sense somehow.
I cruise the Internet looking out for all that's true.

I read your blog, you say you're doing OK.
You've met someone and in your usual way,
You say that he is quite a bit in love with you.

You know, I really am a lot smarter now.
I Googled your new guy coz I learned how.
We're Facebook Friends and we chat a lot,
And we talk about thing that maybe you forgot.

He says that he is dedicated to you.
And he wonders sometimes, what he's supposed to do.
You are often not where you said you that would be.

I told him that I had my own story to tell.
And how it ended up without a fond farewell,
And that maybe he could learn from the odd similarity.

/ E - F#m - / E - F#m / G#m - A B /

I didn't want the truth to come that way,
But you didn't really leave me any choice, I'd say
I was your little joke a long time ago,
So I had to tell him all about girl I know.
