Verse 1

F C

Take your eyes off of me so I can leave

G Am

I’m far too ashamed to do it with you watching me

F C

This is never ending, we have been here before

G Am

But I can’t stay this time ’cause I don’t love you anymore

Chorus

F C

Please, don’t fall apart, I can’t face your breaking heart

G

I’m trying to be brave

Am

Stop asking me to stay

Please, don’t make me chase you

G Am

Even love me when you hate me

We both know I’m not what you, you need

G Am

I want to live and not just survive

I know I always said that I could never hurt you

G Am

Well this is the very, very last time I’m ever going to

Verse 2

F C

There is so much more to life than this

G

It’s just that I don’t know what it is

Am F

So stay and hold me while you let me go
