Intro:  Dm C Am G x2 


Verse1:

Dm        C      Am            G
Don't mind if you treat me bad again
Dm C      Am       G
I don't care anymore
Dm        C            Am      G
Life's too short to make trouble out of small things
     F         C
It is better this way
F      C
I'm sort of laid back today



Verse2:

Dm        C            Am            G
I close my ears when words come flying out
Dm           C      Am       G
I've heard them all before
Dm              C                  Am      G
With just a lot of hope flushing down the drain
F         C
It is better this way
F      C
I am going away



Chorus:

Am      F      C      G
I try to learn some more
Am      F      C      G
Instead of dragging the both of us down
Am      F      C      G
If I separate ways
Dm            C
It's never easy this way
F            C
It's never easy this way



Verse3:
Dm              C                  Am      G
my palms are sweating I'm barely aware
Dm           C      Am       G
when I'm turning down
Dm              C                  Am      G
A soulful life that is what I've been told
F      C
Think it's better this way
F      C
I won't regret it one day



Chorus:

Am      F      C      G
I try to learn some more
Am      F      C      G
Instead of dragging the both of us down
Am      F      C      G
If I separate ways
Dm            C
It's never easy this way
F            C
It's never easy this way



Bridge:

Am          Em               
Talk to me, throw the ball back
F      
I've been here before
         G
There is no turning down
Am            Em                  
Talk to me, just tell it like it is
F
Just two free souls going out each other at each other


Verse4:

We're at the crossroad, going separate ways

Time to say it as it is

And if we bump into each other one day

We'll be better then

Maybe we can start all over again
