I think about how [Eb] it might [Bb] have been
[Eb] [Bb]
We'll spend our days [Eb] [Bb] traveling
It's [Eb] [Cm]
not that [Bb] I don't understand [Eb] you
It's not that I [Bb] don't wanna be [F] with you
But you only wanted me the [Eb] way you wanted me
So [Bb] I will head [Cm] out on my own
[Bb] Hope [Cm] for the best
[Bb]
Hang our heads [Cm] down as we say [Bb] our goodbyes
[Cm] [Bb] You can tell the [Cm] world what you want them to hear
[Fm] I've got nothing [Cm] left to lose, my [Dm] dear
So I'm up for the [Fm] little while
You [Eb] and I
[F] Now the [Bb] reason why
[Cm] I'm gone and [Bb] you're still there
[Cm] I'm gone and [Bb] you're still there
[C] I'm gone and [Bb] you're still
[Cm] [Bb] Buying [Eb]
magazines, searching [Bb] for your [Eb] face
[Bb] Ghost to ghost, or wherever I find my [Bb] place
[Cm] Check you on the radio
[Eb] Find your [Bb] lips in a different [F] name
But as close as I get to you, [Eb] it's not the same
[Bb] So I will head out on my own
[Bb] Hope for the best
Bat ourselves [Cm] on the back and [Bb] say that we [Cm] tried
[Bb] One of us [Cm] will make you pay
[Fm] But we can still [Cm] all regret
[Dm]
Talk about how the love [Fm] never died
But [Eb] you and I
[F] Now the [Bb] reason why
[Cm] I'm gone and [Bb] you're still there
[Cm] I'm gone and [Bb] you're still there
[Cm] I'm gone and [Bb] you're still
[Cm] So [Dm]
steal the show and do [G] your best
To cover the tracks that I [Cm] have left
I wish you well and hope [F] you find
Whatever you're looking [Cm] for
The way I might have changed [F] my mind
You only showed me [C] the door
So [F] I [Eb] [Cm] [Bb] will head [Cm] out on my [Bb] own
Hope [Cm] for the best
[Bb]
Bat ourselves [Cm] on the back and [Bb] say that we tried
[Cm] [Bb] One of us [Cm] will make you pay
[Fm] But we can still [Cm] all regret
[Dm] Talk about how the love [Fm] never died
[Eb] But you and I
[Eb] [F]
You [D] and I
[G]
[Eb] You and I
[F]
Now the [Bb] reason why
[Cm] [Bb] [Cm] [Bb] [C] [Bb]
