G C G C
i think about how it might have been
G C G C
we’d spend our days travelin’
Am G/B
it’s not that i don’t understand you
Am G/B
it’s not that i don’t want to be with you
D
but you only wanted me
C
the way you wanted me

G Am G Am
so , i will head out alone and hope for the best
G
and we can hang our heads down
Am G Am
as we skip the goodbyes
G Am
and you can tell the world what you want them to hear
Dm Am
i’ve got nothing left to lose , my dear
Bm Dm
so , i’m up for the little white lies
C D G
but you and i know the reason why
Am G
i’m gone , and you’re still there
Am G
i’m gone , and you’re still there
Am G
i’m gone , and you’re still there

G C G C
i’ll buy a magazine searching for your face
G C G C
from coast to coast or wherever i find my place
Am G
i’ll track you on the radio , and
Am G
i’ll sign your list in a different name
D
but as close as i get to you
C
it’s not the same

G Am G Am
so , i will head out alone and hope for the best
G Am
we can pat ourselves on the back
G Am
and say that we tried
G Am
and if one of us makes it big
Dm Am
we can spill our regrets
Bm Dm
and talk about how the love never dies
C D G
but you and i know the reason why
Am G
i’m gone , and you’re still there
Am G
i’m gone , and you’re still there
Am G
i’m gone , and you’re still there

Bm E
so , steal the show , and do your best
Am
to cover the tracks that i have left
D7
i wish you well and hope you find
Am
whatever you’re looking for
D7
the way i might’ve changed my mind
Am D Am D7
but you only showed me the door

G Am G Am
so , i will head out alone and hope for the best
G Am
we can pat ourselves on the back
G Am
and say that we tried
G Am
and if one of us makes it big
Dm Am
we can spill our regrets
Bm Dm
and talk about how the love never dies

C D
but you and i

Dm E
you and i

C D G Am G Am G Am G
you and i know the reason why
