(Note: I didn't add the pull-off's Kimberly does playing the songs live,
since I wanted to keep the difficulty level at novice. Basically she pulls
off the A string on G, D string on Cadd9. Right after D, on the verse she
uses Dsus4 (like  G         D-Dsus4        Cadd9      D-Dsus4). If it is
too confusing just play the version below.)
 
Capo on first fret.

[Verse 1]
 
  Cadd9
I remember when my heart
           G
caught the fever
        Cadd9
You were standing all alone
              G
in the summer heat
 
              C
I was with my boyfriend, my new boyfriend,
          G                 D
he was as sweet as he could be
    Em
One look at you and I was through
   D
My heart switched up on me
 
[Chorus]
 
       G             D            Cadd9            D
Like a postcard from Paris when I’ve seen the real thing
          G                D                Cadd9         D
It’s like finding out your diamond is from an old promise ring
       G                      D                   Cadd9  G/B     A7
A call back from your fortune teller she read your cards  upside  down
            C              D             G    D
The meanest thing you ever did is come around
            Cadd9     D          G     D       Cadd9
And now I’m ruined,   (yeah,yeaheh)        I’m ruined
 
[Verse 2]
 
       Cadd9                    G
In the evening you can catch me daydreaming
        Cadd9                             G
Did that moment send you reeling just like me
               C
Should’ve gone over, right over,
            G             D
I should’ve never let you leave
             Em                                       D
But it’s the never knowing that keeps this going and drives me crazy
 
[Chorus]
 
       G             D            Cadd9            D
Like a postcard from Paris when I’ve seen the real thing
          G                D                Cadd9         D
It’s like finding out your diamond is from an old promise ring
       G                      D                   Cadd9  G/B     A7
A call back from your fortune teller she read your cards  upside  down
            C              D             G
The meanest thing you ever did is come around
 
[Bridge]
 
Em
Just when I thought things were alright
Cadd9                        A7
My eyes played tricks on my mind
             B7
Well, will I ever be satisfied cause all I seem to find
 
[Chorus]
 
       G             D           Cadd9          D
It’s a postcard from Paris when I need the real thing
          G                D                Cadd9         D
It’s like finding out your diamond is from an old promise ring
       G                      D                   Cadd9  G/B     A7
A call back from your fortune teller she read your cards  upside  down
            C              D             G    D
The meanest thing you ever did is come around
    C                      D
The meanest thing you ever did,
    Em                      A7
the cruelest thing you ever did,
    C                      D                G   D
the meanest thing you ever did, is come around
     Cadd9    D                 G            D          Cadd9
I am ruined,     (yeah,yeaheh)              I’m ruined
     Cadd9    D           G            D
I am ruined    yeah (yeah,yeaheh)
    Cadd9     D
I’m ruined    yeah  (yeah,yeaheh)

You're totally right about that:) I changed a lot of things that were wrong. Please let me know if you have any other corrections. I think I'll add a little intro too..
