VERSE I

C#m                         E               B
I wonder if you'll notice, if they lock me up and throw away the key,
C#m                         E               B
Gotta be open minded, you've got a lot to learn in the ways of me,
C#m
You've always got to say something,
E                  B
I'm none of your concern but you won't listen at all,
C#m                               E
You know I'd rather say nothing, and just be proud of myself,
B
I'm tearing down these walls!


CHORUS I


A        E          B
When you fall, I'll be the only one who looks away,
A        E          B
When you call, I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay,
A        E          B                     A          E       B
It's all over, I've found a better way to help keep you from me, 
B
I'm better off this way,
A        E     B
Wo-A-oh, wo-A-oh!
B
I'm better off this way,
A        E       B 
Wo-A-oh, wo-A-oh!


VERSE II


C#m                          E                                B
You gotta keep this coming, tell me like you know it but you don't know,
               C#m
nothing. your call,
                                      E                             B
We can settle this like "gentlemen", or meet me at the back to end it all, 

and start again.
C#m                                 E      
My whole life's been waiting, ever since I can remember,
      B                 C#m
Been anticipating your fall, and God let it be a long one,
E                  B                         A
Can't let go of my grudge till I know you're done.


CHORUS I


A        E          B
When you fall, I'll be the only one who looks away,
A        E          B
When you call, I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay,
A        E         B                      A          E       B
It's all over, I've found a better way to help keep you from me, 
B
I'm better off this way,
A        E     B
Wo-A-oh, wo-A-oh!
B
I'm better off this way,
A        E       B 
Wo-A-oh, wo-A-oh!


BRIDGE:


A            E
You want it, You've got it,
B                      
You've always been such a waste of time.
A            E
You want it, You've got it,
B                
A friend of yours is no friend of mine.
A            E
You want it, You've got it,
B           
When will you act your age?
A            E
You want it, You've got it,
B                        
You're the reason things have to change...


A        E     B
Wo-A-oh, wo-A-oh!
B
You're the reason things have to change...
A        E       B 
Wo-A-oh, wo-A-oh!

A        E          B                     A          E       B
It's all over, I've found a better way to help keep you from me,
B
I'm better off this way,
A        E     B
Wo-A-oh, wo-A-oh!
B
I'm better off this way,
A        E       B 
Wo-A-oh, wo-A-oh!
