[Bb] I think about how [Eb]
it might [Bb] have been
And [Eb]
[Bb] spend our days [Eb]
[Bb] traveling
It's [Eb]
[Cm] not that I [Bb] don't understand [Eb] you
It's not that I [Bb] don't wanna be with you
[F] But you only wanted me the way [Eb] you wanted me
So I [Bb] will head out [Cm] alone and [Bb] hope for [Cm] the best
[Bb] We can hang our heads down as [Cm] we skip the [Bb] goodbyes
[Cm]
And [Bb] you can tell the world [Cm] what you want them to hear
I've [Fm] got nothing left [Cm] to lose, my dear
[Dm] So I'm up for the little [Fm] white lie
But you [Eb] ain't lyin'
[Gm] [F] [Bb] Know the reason why
I'm [Cm] gone and you're still [Bb] there
I'm [Cm] gone and you're still [Bb] there
I'm [Cm] gone and you're [Bb] still there
[Cm] [Bb] I'll buy a magazine, [Eb] searching for [Bb] your face
[Eb] [Bb] From coast to coast, [Eb] or wherever I find my [Bb] place
[Eb] [Cm] I'll track you on [Bb] the radio
And [Eb] I'll sign your list in [Bb] a different name
[F] But as close as I get to you, it's not [Eb] the same
So I'll [Bb]
head out [Cm] alone and [Bb] hope for the [Cm] best
We [Bb] can pat ourselves on the [Cm] back and say that we [Bb] tried
[Cm] And [Bb] if we want us to make shit [Cm] better, we [Fm] can spill our [Cm] regrets
And [Dm] talk about how the lover never [Fm] died
But you ain't [Eb] lyin'
[F] Know [Bb] the reason why
I'm [Cm] gone and you're still [Bb] there
I'm [Cm] gone and you're still [Bb] there
I'm [Cm] gone and you're still [Bb] there
[Cm]
[Dm] So steal the show and do your [G] best
To cover the tracks that I have [Cm] left
I wish you well and [F] hope you find
Whatever you're [Cm] looking for
The world might have [F] changed my mind
But you only showed me the [Cm] door
[F] So [Eb]
I [Bb] will
[Cm] Head out alone and [Bb] hope [Cm] for the best
[Bb] We can pat ourselves on [Cm] the back and say [Bb] that we tried
[Cm]
[Bb] And if we want us to [Cm] make shit better, [Fm] we can spill [Cm] our regrets
And [Dm] talk about how the lover never [Fm]
died
[Eb] [F]
You [D] ain't lyin'
[G]
You [Eb] and I
[D] [F]
Know the [Bb] reason why
[C] [Cm] [Bb] [Cm] [Bb] [Cm]
