Verse
-----
Guitar I - single chord strums with tremelo/echo effect
Guitar II - strumming
 
Oh, I thought I loved you
I thought that nothing could Go wrong
but I was wrong
I was wrong
 
If you, if you could get by
trying not to lie
things wouldn't be so confused
and I wouldn't feel so used
but you always ruin you
I just wanna be with you
 
Chorus
------
and I miss you
you know I'm such a fool for you
you got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
 
[Slide guitar]
 
and I miss you
you know I'm such a fool for you
you got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
 
you know I'm such a fool for you
you got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to
Do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
