Capo 6
 
[Verse 1]
       G                             Em
You're stubborn as they come, you'll never settle down
       C                     G
You'll always be the one who doesn't stick around
G                        Em
You make all the rules, you're set in your ways
    C                            G
You gotta have your freedom, you gotta have your space
 
[Chorus]
          G                            G
Cause one day you'll meet the girl you swore you'd never find
      Em
Start feeling things you never felt and spending all your time
C                                             G     D
Trying to figure out how she got this hold on you
    G
And when you start to fall, you'll hold onto your pride
      Em
Start building up your walls and never let her get inside
C                                                      G     D
You'll push her away 'cause that's all you know how to do
                Em                  D              C
And then she'll leave and you won't beg her not to go
             G
Ask me how I know
 
[Verse 2]
   G                          Em
Go on and shake your head and tell me that I'm wrong
          C                             G
Say, "I'm just another fool and this is just another song"
    G                         Em
But I know how you are 'cause I know how I am
    C                       G
And I'd give anything to go back and try again
 
[Chorus]
          G                            G
Cause one day you'll meet the girl you swore you'd never find
      Em
Start feeling things you never felt and spending all your time
C                                             G     D
Trying to figure out how she got this hold on you
    G
And when you start to fall, you'll hold onto your pride
      Em
Start building up your walls and never let her get inside
C                                                      G     D
You'll push her away 'cause that's all you know how to do
                Em                  D              C
And then she'll leave and you won't beg her not to go
             G
Ask me how I know
 
[Bridge]
G G G G D D D D G G/F#
        Em       D/F#      C    G    G/F#
And you best put this song on repeat
      Em       D/F#      C       D
Maybe then you won't end up like me
 
[Chorus]
          G                            G
Cause one day you'll meet the girl you swore you'd never find
      Em
Start feeling things you never felt and spending all your time
C                                             G
Trying to figure out how she got this hold on you
    G
And when you start to fall, you'll hold onto your pride
      Em
Start building up your walls and never let her get inside
C                                                      G     D
You'll push her away 'cause that's all you know how to do
                Em                  D              C
And then she'll leave and you won't beg her not to go

Changing between c and f chords in the original version can be troublesome for a beginner. I welcome this version, although I would probably set the cabo lower when I play it.

personally I think it sounds just fine...I'm not trying to play it exactly like Garth does, it wouldn't be "mine". these chords fit the vocal notes, and very easy for my skill level. very nice contribution, thank you.
