verse 1 :
D
you say , sometimes , it’s like i hardly know you
Bm
and maybe there’s somethings i never showed you
A G
sometimes you’re certain , but just can’t get it working at all
D
you say to yourself somebody better
Bm
will understand you more than i ever
A G
i’ll shake his hand , and smile , and say i understand . well i do

that don’t mean i don’t think about you

prechorus :
D
i know we
Bm
said it’s just as well that i won’t keep , keep you for myself
A G
but , i don’t want to see you happier with somebody else

chorus :
D
oh , why can’t you just be lo – lo , lo lo – lo , lo lonely?
Bm
why can’t you just be lo – lo , lo lo – lo , lo lonely?
A
why can’t you just be lo – lo , lo lo – lo , lo lonely?
G
i know you need someone too
this just feels so soon

verse 2 :
D
i know some things should just stay broken
Bm
i’m well aware this should remain unspoken
A G
but i’ve been working on the things that i was learning all wrong , oh
D
i know sometimes i only twist ya
Bm
and maybe i’m too proud to say i missed ya
A G
but what if here and now , i tell you that i’m all figured out?
or maybe i just like how that sounds

prechorus :
D
i know we
Bm
said it’s just as well that i won’t keep , keep you for myself
A G
but , i don’t want to see you happier with somebody else

chorus :
D
oh , why can’t you just be lo – lo , lo lo – lo , lo lonely?
Bm
why can’t you just be lo – lo , lo lo – lo , lo lonely?
A
why can’t you just be lo – lo , lo lo – lo , lo lonely?
G
i know you need someone too
this just feels so soon

bridge :
Bm
and i know it seems beneath me
G
but sometimes it’s not so easy
D A
to wish you well and let you go

Bm
and i say it’s just as well
G
that i just can’t keep you for myself
D A
i don’t want to see you happier with somebody else

( it’s Bm – D – G – a all the way to the end so
you can freestyle a bit with the vocals : D )

oh , lo – lo , lo lo – lo , lo lonely?
why can’t you just be lo – lo , lo lo – lo , lo lonely?
why can’t you just be lo – lo , lo lo – lo , lo lonely?

this just feels so
this just feels so ,
feels so soon

( lo – lo , lo lo – lo , lo lonely? )
why can’t you be
( lo – lo , lo lo – lo , lo lonely? )
why can’t you be
( lo – lo , lo lo – lo , lo lonely? )

this just feels so ,
this just feels so ,
this just feels so soon
