Full Song

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
F C
Please, don’t make me chase you
G Am
Even love me when you hate me
F C
We both know I’m not what you, you need
G Am
I want to live and not just survive
F C
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
C G
I can’t love you in the dark
Am
It feels like we’re oceans apart
F
There is so much space between us

Baby, we’re already defeated
G
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s over
Am
All done
