[F#] [G#m]
[C#] [F#]
The longer you [G#m] wait to leave me, [C#] the longer I'll hurt [F#] when you're gone.
And the longer it takes [G#m] you to break my heart, [C#] the longer the pain [F#] lingers on.
How [B] long [C#] will you prolong [F#] my misery?
[C#] Wish I could leave [F#] on my own.
Cause the longer you [G#m] wait to leave me, [C#] the longer I'll hurt [F#] when you're gone.
We [G#m]
[C#] [F#]
[G#m]
[C#] [F#]
both know that you [G#m] never loved me.
[C#] I lied to myself from [F#] the start.
We both know that someday [G#m] you'll leave me.
[C#] And the knowing just tears [F#] me apart.
How [B] long will you [C#] prolong [F#] my misery?
[C#] Wish I could leave [F#] on my own.
Cause the longer you [G#m] wait to leave me, [C#] the longer I'll hurt [F#] when you're gone.
[D#] The [C#] longer I'll hurt [F#] when you're gone.
