Intro
x2
G A7 Bm A7
Verse
G A7
I know it's today
Bm A7 C
so I guess you could say one recovers.
G A7
It's odd you should call me,
Bm A7 C A7
but then, after all, we were lovers.
Chorus
C Em A7
I don't wait by the phone like I used to.
C Em A7
I don't hope for kind words you might say.
C Em A7
You don't prey on my mind like you used to
C Am D G
but you can still ruin my day.
C Am D G
You can still ruin my day.
Verse progression
You're telling me now
you regret how we never connected.
Oh, as if you forget
that it's me you regret you rejected.
Chorus progression
I don't easily forgive like I used to
and I seldom get carried away.
No, you don't have the pull that you used to
but you can still ruin my day.
You can still ruin my day.
Bm Dm/F
Love! It was lovely!
C Em Am
And it hardly hurt a bit!
G A7 Bm A7
Sounds good to me, but unfortunately
C A7
I remember it.
Chorus progression
Now I don't use my place like I used to.
I'm not moved by your artful display.
No, you can't draw me in like you used to
but you can still ruin my day.
You can still ruin my day.
You can still ruin my day.
C[ABm A7 C
horus progression]
You can still ruin my day, I say,
you can still ruin my day.
