Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 hit bass G twice then strum once, repeat twice
 Just  the other day, some asked me about you
   And I said that you were doin' fine.
 I  didn't bother to say that I ain't got a clue
   And I spend most of my time
  Wishin  we were  still together
 And  keepin in touch with more than  just a smile
 Pretendin  that I'm  feelin better
 Though  not once have we kissed  in quite a while
 Still  thinkin' about  you all the time
 Through  all the pain and strife
 I'm  holdin on to pieces of my own dear  life
 And  that ain't  right
 You  lose at love and your heart  breaks
 But  if you fall in love,  it's a risk you take
 It  ain't fair,  . . . but it's  true
 And  I want break down and wash away
 Cuz  all I got left is  all I got to say
 All  the little lies,  . . .about me and  you.
 The way the story goes
 I am doin great, and we are still in love
 Through the highs and lows
 We are bound by fate, It's like a gift from God above
 And every time we swear its over
 You come runnin back to me
 Swearin that you'll never love another
 And freedom's not what you thought it would be
 Still thinkin about you all the time
 I'm 'bout to go insane,
 Guilty goin crazy 'bout the things I claim
 To be right
 Chorus same except end with
 .  . . about  me and you
 Repeat Chorus
