[Verse 1]
 
G                         D/F#             Em
It’s strange to think the songs we used to sing
                C             G           D/F# Em C
The smiles, the flowers, everything... is gone
G                 D
Yesterday I found out about you
Em            C               G       D/F# Em C
Even now just looking at you... feels wrong
Em                 C                       G
You say that you’d take it all back, given one chance
                  D               C       D
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                   Em                     C
You should’ve said no, you should’ve gone home
                      D                           G
You should’ve thought twice before you let it all go
    D/F#                 Em                           C
You should’ve known that word, bout what you did with her
                  D
Would get back to me...
                     Em                         C
And I should’ve been there, in the back of your mind
               D             G
I shouldn’t be asking myself why
    D/F#         Em             C              A
You shouldn’t be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
                   C                D
You should’ve said no, baby and you might still have me
 
Em C D G Em C D
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G                D/F#
You can see that I’ve been crying
Em                C                     G    D/F# Em C
And baby you know all the right things... to say
    G      D/F#       Em      C
But do you honestly expect me to believe
G        D/F#        Em  C
We could ever be the same
Em                           C              G
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
                  D               C       D
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                   Em                     C
You should’ve said no, you should’ve gone home
                      D                           G
You should’ve thought twice before you let it all go
    D/F#                 Em                           C
You should’ve known that word, bout what you did with her
                  D
Would get back to me...
                     Em                         C
And I should’ve been there, in the back of your mind
               D             G
I shouldn’t be asking myself why
    D/F#         Em             C              A
You shouldn’t be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
                   C                D
You should’ve said no, baby and you might still have me
 
Em C G D
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Em         C                           A
I can’t resist… before you go, tell me this
      C      D
Was it worth it…
       C
Was she worth this…
 
Em C      D  G   D/F# Em C D
Nooooo no... no, no,  no,  no...
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                   Em                     C
You should’ve said no, you should’ve gone home
                      D                           G
You should’ve thought twice before you let it all go
                         Em                           C
You should’ve known that word, bout what you did with her
                  D
Would get back to me...
                     Em                         C
And I should’ve been there, in the back of your mind
               D/F#          G
I shouldn’t be asking myself why
    D/F#         Em             C              A
You shouldn’t be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
                   C                D                Em
You should’ve said no, baby and you might still have me

Wow I made some big mistakes in this one... during the verses, it's Em not Am! And during the verses, it's D/F# not D, and the last line in each which should be D C D not D Am D. Sorry =( I wish there was an edit button!

I KNOW! In case you hadn't noticed, I have since then edited it! I realized it after I submitted my first few tabs.
