[Verse 1]
C
Hey,
                  Cmaj7
This is a story I hate
                             C7
And tellin' it might make me break
                    F    G
But I'll tell it anyway
                C
This chapter's about
                              Cmaj7
How you said there was nobody else
                                C7
Then you got up and went to her house
                        F    G
You guys always left me out
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  C
I still have the letter you wrote when you told me
     G/B                                         Am
That I was the only girl you'd ever want in your life
                        Fm    G
I guess my friends were right
 
[Chorus]
              Dm7                  G7
Each day goes by and each night, I cry
         C                     Am
Somebody saw you with her last night
                 Dm7                      G7
You gave me your word, "Don't worry 'bout her"
                   C                     C7
You might love her now, but you loved me first
                 Dm7                  G7
Said you'd never hurt me, but here we are
        C        G/B   Am
Oh, you swore on every star
              Dm7   G7               C
How could you be so reckless with my heart?
 
[Verse 2]
                 C
You check in and out
                     Cmaj7
Of my heart like a hotel
                            C7
And she must be perfect, oh well
                      F    G
I hope you both go to hell
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  C
I still have the letter you wrote when you told me
     G/B                                         Am
That I was the only girl you'd ever want in your life
                        Fm    G
I guess my friends were right
 
[Chorus]
              Dm7                  G7
Each day goes by and each night, I cry
         C                     Am
Somebody saw you with her last night
                 Dm7                      G7
You gave me your word, "Don't worry 'bout her"
                   C                     C7
You might love her now, but you loved me first
                 Dm7                  G7
Said you'd never hurt me, but here we are
        C        G/B   Am
Oh, you swore on every star
              Dm7   G7               C              A7
How could you be so reckless with my heart? (Hea-ea-eart)
 
[Post-Chorus]
              Dm7   G7
How could you be so reckless?
              C  G/B Am
How could you be so  reckless?
A7            Dm7   G7                      C
How could you be so reckless with someone's heart?
 
[Outro]
C
Hey,
                  Cmaj7
This is a story I hate
                               C7
But I told it to cope with the pain
                          F
I'm so sorry if you can relate

I think it's supposed to be C for "with my heart", not Cmaj7 just from hearing the guitar play. Could be wrong though.
