Intro

Verse 1

 No you never were one for resting easy were ya

 So much that when they told me how you left us here behind

 That I didn’t even bat an eye believing

 In words I should have said to make you stay but couldn’t find

 In just hoped that road would one day watch you walk right back to me

 ‘till then I’ll be

Jet black and jealous

Verse 2

And I’ll dare not let ‘em know that now you’re gone

How I’ll still be a fool for the way we used to be

I just keep laughin’ out loud and play along

As if I traded you for one the way you traded me

‘Cause with your beat up bag and your laced up shoes

You walked right out the door

And I hit the floor

Jet black and jealous

Chorus

 Tell me how was I to know

  [G/f#]

Tell me how can I let go

 Well I know wherever you are tonight

 You look just like a queen

 Stealing the scene

Jet black and jealous

Verse 3

And I bet by now you’re rolling through Pittsburgh

Watching the rain in passing headlights

From some roadside corner booth

Still smiling ‘bout the choices that you made

Hoping the clouds are breaking up ahead

Skies blue instead of grey

But if you get out there and you find

That it’s not what you thought it’d be, remember me

Jet black and jealous

Repeat chorus

 Yeah if you get out there and you find

 That it’s not what you thought it’d be, come back to me

 Tell me how

Tell me how was I to know

Tell me how was I to know

End: Fade out (I end on a G)
