Intro: D - G - A - Bm/F# -
          G - A - Bm - G - A -

         D
   Is it hard to believe I'm okay?
          Em            Am
   After all, it's been awhile
       D7          G
   Since you walked away
                  F#m
   I'm way past crying
              Em            A7
   Over you finding someone new
   D 
   You turn my days into night
     Bm               G
   But now I see the light
         Em            F#m            C - A7
   And this may be a big surprise to you

                Chorus
                                D
   (But/Cause) You've made me stronger
        G          A7
   By breaking my heart
                 D
   You ended my life
                G         A7
   And made a better one start
                      Bm
   You've taught me everything
                    A7
   From falling in love
                     Bm
   To letting go of a lie
           Em        F#m
   Yes, you've made me stronger
    G        A7         D - G - A - Bm - G - A7
   Baby, by saying goodbye

       D
   If you'd rather believe I'm not over you
        Bm                    Am
   Go ahead, there's nothing wrong
           D7      G
   With making believe
       F#m                   Em
   I know, cause I used to pretend
                      A7
   You'd come back to me
       D 
   But time has been such a friend
     Bm               G
   Brought me to my senses again
           Em        F#m
   And I have you to thank 
                   C
   For setting me free

   (Repeat Chorus except last line)

     G                A
   Baby, by saying goodbye

    Bm      G
   Think again
                  Em                A7
   Don't feel so sorry for me, my friend
    Bm            G
   Oh, don't you know
               Em                A7
   I'm not the one at the losing end
