[B] [E] [G] [E]
I feel like a stranger in this [A] home I built for [E] you
And I can't understand this [B] awful change you're going through
But [E] lately I've been watching you [A] grow colder every [E] day
And I'd rather be gone [B] than in your [E] way
I'd rather be gone
[A] than in [E] your way
I'd rather see someone else here in [G#m] my [B] place
And if [E] I [B] decide [E] on leaving, [A] my world will end [E] today
But I'd rather be gone than in your way
