The story starts when it was hot and it was Summer
            C                                                     G
And, I had it all; I had him right there where I wanted him
Am                                                            F

She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
C*                                                    G*
She underestimated just who she was stealing from

G

Sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know
C                                                                               G
