Standard Tuning
Capo can be used to adjust key for singing.

When I play, I like to transition from D to Dsus4 with a hammer on the high E
string.  It's not necessary, but it sounds better I think.

Chords used:
		E A D G B E
		-----------
	G	3 2 0 0 3 3
	G/F#	2 - 0 0 3 3
	Em7	0 2 2 0 3 3
	Cadd9	- 3 2 0 3 3
	D	- - 0 2 3 2
	Dsus4	- - 0 2 3 3

Intro:
=======
G   G/f#    Em7    Em7 x2

Verse 1:
=========
  G
I never knew perfection ‘til
  G/f#
I heard you speak, and now it kills me
Em7
Just to hear you say the simple things.

    G
Now waking up is hard to do
    G/f#
And sleeping’s impossible too
Em7                            Cadd9
Everything’s reminding me of you
Cadd9
What can I do?

Chorus:
========
G               G/f#
It’s not right, not okay
Em7     		 Cadd9
Say the word that you'll say
            D
Maybe we’re better off this way
G            G/f#
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
Em7              Cadd9
It’s harder everyday
            D
Maybe we’re better off this way
D
It’s better that we break..

Verse 2:
=========
  G
A fool to let you slip away
  G/f#
I chase you just to hear you say
       Em7				    Cadd9
You’re scared and that you think that I’m insane

    G
The city looks so nice from here
G/f#
Pity I can’t see it clearly
Em7                                 D
While you’re standing there, it disappears
D
It disappears

Chorus:
========
G               G/f#
It’s not right, not okay
Em7     		 Cadd9
Say the word that you'll say
            D
Maybe we’re better off this way
G            G/f#
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
Em7              Cadd9
It’s harder everyday
            D
Maybe we’re better off this way
D
It’s better that we break up

Bridge:
========
Cadd9               D
Saw you sitting all alone
       Cadd9              D
You’re fragile and you’re cold, but that’s all right
Cadd9
Life these days is getting rough
D
It knocks you down and beats you up
Cadd9                             D
But it’s just a roller coaster anyway, yeah

Chorus:
========
G               G/f#
It’s not right, not okay
Em7     		 Cadd9
Say the word that you'll say
            D
Maybe we’re better off this way
G            G/f#
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
Em7            Cadd9
It’s harder everyday
            D
Maybe we’re better off this way

G               G/f#
It’s not right, not okay
Em7     		 Cadd9
Say the word that you'll say
            D
Maybe we’re better off this way
G            G/f#
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
Em7            Cadd9
It’s harder everyday
            D
Maybe we’re better off this way
D
It’s better that we break.. baby
