[B] [Ab] I [Em]
[Gb] [D]
[F] [G] [C] [Dm]
[C] thought some time [F] alone [G] was what [C] we really [G] needed
[D] You said that [C] time would [F] hurt more than it helps
But [G] I [Am] couldn't see that
[C] I thought it was [F] the end
[G] of a beautiful [Em] story
[Am] And so I left [Dm] the one I loved at [F] home
To be [E] alone, alone
And [Am] I try to find out [Dm] this one thing is [G] true
That [C] I'm nothing without [Dm] you
I know better now
And [Gm] I've had to change your [C] heart
I'd rather [F] have bad times with [Gm] you
Than [Em] good times with someone [Am] else
[A] I'd rather be [C] beside you in a [Gm] storm
Than safe [Em] and warm by
[Gm] myself
[C] I'd rather [F] have hard times
[B] together

[Gm] And thought she could [C] replace you
We got along [F] just fine
We wasted time [G] because she [Am] was not you
We [C] had a lot of fun
[Gm] Though we knew we [Em] were faking
[C] Love was [Dm] not impressed with our connection
Built on [E] lies, on lies
So [Am] I'm here cause I found [Dm] this one thing is [G] true
That [C] I'm nothing [C] without [Dm] you
I know better now
[Gm] And I've had to change [C] your heart
I'd rather [F] have bad times with [Gm] you
