[Bb]
[F]
[F] Baby, how could I have been so vain To make you feel like you're the only one
[Bb] I could lay for all these [F] distances and all of this pain?
Baby, how could I have been so blind To suppose that your needs were just [Bb] like mine?
You've been a prisoner [F] for a long, long time Cause now [C] you're running from me
And [Bb] I will set you free if I'm [F] so easy to be
Tried so hard to make you part of me But every time I looked at you I thought I'd [Bb] say
Some money you could [F] never, never be So full of pride I could not see you stay
I thought you'd change if the night would only [Bb] wait
I say that truth now but [F] it's much too late Cause now [C] you're running from me
And I [Bb] will set you free if that's [F] the way it's been
Oh, [Dm] how [D] did it ever get so [F] cold in me?
Oh, [Dm] is there nothing left [Bb] but silence in [C] between?

[F] Baby, I'd be hold on so long To something both of us must have [Bb] known was wrong
We're easy fools, [F] we must be terribly strong Cause now [C] you're running from me
And I [Bb] will set you free [F] if that's the way it's been
Cause [C] now you're running from me And I will set you free [F] if that's the way it's been
Cause now [C] you're all for me and I will set you free if [F] that's the way it be.
