Am           D
I understand your point of view
G                 E                      Am
Letting me go but I thought you had more faith
           D
Everything I've done for you
    G                         E                    Am
You made the mistakes and now you throw this in my face
           D
And I have worked so hard for you
G                C               E     Am
All of this time and you cast me asi...de
             D                  Dm
I understand your point of vi...ew


E                          Bm
But I can't seem to get me head around
                           D             
All the things that I feel good about
                   A    
Always seem to disappear
E                                   Bm
And everytime I think I've got this all worked out
                          D
Something chews me up and spits me out
                            A
But there's nothing left to fear
    C#m          F#
I'm better alone my dear


Am                D                G
You couldn't pick a better time to give me the news
              E                Am
Why don't you kick me when I'm down?
           D
I'd always believed in you
G                      E                 Am
Defended your name but you have not been true
           D
I gave you so much of my life 
G                    C           E      Am
I've compromised and you tell me goodbye
                    D         Dm
You couldn't pick a better ti...me


E                          Bm
And I can't seem to get me head around
                           D             
All the things that I feel good about
                   A    
Always seem to disappear
E                                   Bm
And everytime I think I've got this all worked out
                          D
Something chews me up and spits me out
                            A
But there's nothing left to fear
    C#m          F#
I'm better alone my de...ar


C#m      E                       F#
I know I really should thank you for setting me free
C#m         E                   F#
It's really amazing the changes I'm starting to feel
A                       B
It's not gonna be long, till I'm fit and strong
G#                    C#m
Deliverance helped me heal
D                                         B
Still I wonder if you ever wish you still had m...e


F#                      C#m
Will I ever get my head around
                           E
All the things that I feel good about 
                        B
That always seem to disappear
F#                                    C#m
When every time I think I've got this all worked out
                          E
Something chews me up and spits me out
                            B
But there's nothing left to fear (No, no, no)


F#                       C#m
I can't seem to get my head around
                           E
All the things that I feel good about
                        B
That always seem to disappear (No, no)
F#                                   C#m
And every time I think I've got this figured out
                           E
Something screws me up and drags me down
                         B
But there's nothing left to fear
D#m              G#
I'm better alone my dear
