D7 Dm C

G-Am               C
   same bed but it feels
                  Dm
just a little bit bigger now
G
 our song on the radio
             C              G
but it don't sound the same
Am                      C
 when our friends talk about you
                         Dm
all that it does is just tear me down
G
 cause my heart breaks a little
         C
when I hear your name

    G
and all just sounds like
Am             Em
u.. u.. uu.. huu..
  A#                            G
hmm.. Too young, too dumb to realize

[Chorus]
     G                      F
that I should've bought you flowers
G              C
 and held your hand
                          F
should've give you all my hours
G               C
 when I had the chance
                  F
take you to every party
              G                Am
cause all you wanted to do was dance
D7             F
now my baby is dancing
          Fm                   C
but she's dancing with another man

[Intro] 
F C

G Am            C
   my pride, my ego
                Dm
my needs and my selfish ways
G
 caused a good strong woman like you
        C           G
to walk out my life
      Am
now I never,
C
never get to clean up
    Dm
the mess I made, oh..
G                                      C
 and it haunts me every time I close.. my eyes

    G
and all just sounds like
Am             Em 
u.. u.. uu.. huu..
  A#                            G
hmm.. Too young, too dumb to realize

[Chorus]
     G                      F
that I should've bought you flowers
G              C
 and held your hand
                          F
should've give you all my hours
G               C
 when I had the chance
                  F
take you to every party
              G                Am
cause all you wanted to do was dance
D7             F

          Fm                   C
but she's dancing with another man

            F

      C      G    Am   Em

      D7

            Dm

D7                F                Fm

                C
when I was your man
D7                F                Fm
do all the things I should've done
                C
when I was your man
              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 I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh…
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

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

But she's dancing with another man

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

I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
