[Cm]Last night I [Ab]crashed into your car
[Eb]And it knocked the [Ab]breath right out of me
[Cm]But I forgot [B]about my breathing
[Ab]When you stepped [Eb]out into the street
[Ab]You called [Cm]me a dick
[B]But you could [Bb]have called me anything
[Eb]Cause I saw [Ab]that little smile
[Cm]You tried to [B]hide behind your cheeks
[Bb]And even though [Cm]my insurance is now
[Ab]Too high [Eb]to pay
[Cm]I got your number and [Ab]I'm calling you on Friday
[Eb]And I can't [Cm]help but think
[Ab]That after all the [Eb]things that I've done wrong
[Cm]Maybe I [Ab]did something right
[Eb]I did [Cm]something right
[Ab]I did [Eb]something right
[Cm]I did [Ab]something right
[Eb]Last night you told [Ab]me that you're leaving
[Cm]After you broke [B]my favorite lamp
[Ab]You said you hate [Eb]all of my friends
[Ab]And you [Cm]hate me too
[B]You think [Cm]I'm cheap
[Ab]And you're [Eb]probably right
[Cm]I'm kind [Ab]of cheap
[Eb]But I just can't [Cm]afford expensive girls like you
[Ab]And even though you [Eb]think the last few months
[Cm]Were such a [Ab]waste of time
[Eb]I look at old pictures [Cm]and remember you were once mine
[Ab]And I can't [Eb]help but think
[Cm]That after all the [Ab]things that I've done wrong
[Eb]Maybe I [Cm]did something right
[Ab]I did [Eb]something right
[Ab]I did [Cm]something right
[B]I did [Eb]something right
[Ab]I did [Cm]something right
[B]♪
[Cm]Last night you told [Ab]me that you're pregnant
[Eb]My throat collapsed
[Cm]I couldn't breathe
[Ab]You said there's a [Eb]little man inside you
[Cm]That looks a [Ab]little bit like me
[Eb]I should've [Cm]gone to college
[Ab]And got some [Eb]type of degree
[Cm]Cause now I [Ab]got a second job
[Eb]And I work like [Ab]60 hours a week
[Cm]And even though all [B]we ever do is fight
[Ab]I could feel a kicking [Eb]in your stomach last night
[Ab]And I can't [Cm]help but think
[B]That after all the [Bb]things that I've done wrong
[Eb]Maybe I [Ab]did something right
