G#             D#      C#
My Girlfriend, my dumb donut
G#                           D#    C#
Went out to a party just the other night
    G#                 D#             C#
But three hours later, seven shots of jager
G#                           D#      C#
She was in the bedroom with another guy.

And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air

Chorus:
G#                  D#           C#
I'm not the one who acted like a ho
G#                D#             C#
Why must I be the one who has to know
G#                  D#            C#
I'm not the one who messed up big time
   G#                   Fm            D#
So spare me the details if you don't mind.

Now I can understand friends who wanna tell me
Think they're gonna help me open up my eyes
But the play-by-play makes me wanna lose it
Every time you do it, man, it turns the knife

And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air

Chorus

Fm                   A#m
Now I don't need to hear
                           D#    Cm
About the sounds they were making
Fm                  A#m
And I don't need to hear
                       D#
About how long it was taking
                             C#
Or How the walls they were shaking.

Now lying in bed, wallowing in sorrow
Missing the tomorrow that we could have had
Running through my head, over and over
Things I never told her now just make me sad

And it drives me insane, sitting with the vision
Stuck with that image burned into my brain
And I feel so dumb that I could ever trust her
While someone else fucked her, then walked away

And I don't really wanna to know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air

Chorus:
And so, I'm not the one who acted like a ho
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So, spare me the details if you don't mind

('Cause I don't wanna know)
Don't wanna know
(Spare me the details if you don't mind)
Don't wanna know
Don't wanna know..
(Spare me the details if you don't mind)
