[Verse 1]
Am                     C                            Dm
Same bed, but it feels just a little bit bigger now
G                        C                         Em
Our song on the radio, but it don't sound the same
Am                              C                                       Dm
When our friends talk about you all it does is just tear me down
G                                     C
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
    Em                        Am                    Em
It all just sounds like ooh, ooh, oooh, oooh
Bb                                            C
Mmm too young, too dumb to realize
 
 
[Chorus]
        G                                     F      G                       C
That you should've bought me flowers and held my hand
G                                     F    G                               C
Shoulda gave me all your hours when you had the chance
G                         F                        G                         Am
Take me to every party cause all I wanted to do was dance
D                         F                       Fm                             C
         Em
Now baby you're dancing, but I'm dancing with another man
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                      C                                     Dm
Your pride, your ego, your needs and your selfish ways
G                               C                    Em
Caused a nice young love like me to walk out your life
             Am     C                                    Dm
Now I'll never, never get to clean up the mess we made ooh
G                                 C
And that haunts me every time I close my eyes
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                             Am                   Em
It all just sounds like ooh, ooh, oooh, oooh
Bb                                             C
Mmm too young, too dumb to realize
 
 
[Chorus]
        G                                      F      G                     C
That you should've bought me flowers and held my hand
G                                      F    G                      C
Shoulda gave me all your hours when you had the chance
G                           F                          G                         Am
Take me to all the parties cause all I wanted to do was dance
D                         F                       Fm                              C
Now baby you're dancing, but I'm dancing with another man
 
 
[Bridge]
                  F                       G                              C G Am Em
Although it hurts I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
         D
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
                 Dm
To try and apologize for your mistakes
               G
But I just want you to know
 
 
[Chorus]
                         F      G                       C
Oh, he buys me flowers, he holds my hand
      G                      F    G                     C
He gives me all his hours 'cause he has the chance
G                           F                         G                               Am
Takes me to every party cause he remembers how much I love to dance
D                                    F                   Fm                            C
Does all the things you should've done when you were my man
D                                    F                   Fm                            C
Does all the things you should've done when you were my man
              (originally by Bruno Mars)

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

That you should have bought me flowers
And held my hand
Should have gave me all your hours
When you had the chance
Take me to every party
Cause all I wanted to do was dance
But now baby I’m dancing
But I’m dancing with another man

your pride, your ego, your needs, and your selfish ways
Caused a nice young love like me to walk out your life
Now we’ll never, never get to clean up the mess we made
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

That you should have bought me flowers
And held my hand
Should have gave me all your hours
When you had the chance
Take me to all the parties
Cause all I wanted to do was dance
But now baby I’m dancing
But I’m dancing with another man

Though it hurts
I'll be the first to say I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for the mistakes
But I just want you to know

He buys me flowers
And he holds my hand
And he gives me all his hours
Cause he has the chance
Takes me to all the parties
Cause he remembers how much I love to dance
Does all the things you shoulda done when you were my man

Does all the things you shoulda done when you were my man
