G              C              G      C 
 I think about how it might have been 
G              C              G      C 
 We'd spend our days travelin' 
Am                      G 
 It's not that I don't understand you 
Am                      G  
 It's not that I don't want to be with you 
        Am 
But you only wanted me 
            C 
The way you wanted me 
         G         C       G             C 
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best 
           G 
And we can hang our heads down 
     C             G     C 
As we skip the goodbyes 
            G                       C 
And you can tell the world what you want them to hear 
         Dm              Am 
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear 
        Bm                      F/D 
So, I'm up for the little white lies 
            C    D2                   G 
But you and I         know the reason why 
    C                      G 
I'm gone, and you're still there 
    C                      G 
I'm gone, and you're still there 
    C                      G 
I'm gone, and you're still there 
G                C                     G      C 
 I'll buy a magazine searching for your face 
G                    C                G         C 
 From coast to coast or wherever I find my place 
Am                     G 
 I'll track you on the radio, and 
     Am                  Dm 
I'll sign your list in a different name 
       Am 
But as close as I get to you 
             C 
It's not the same 
         G         C       G             C 
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best 
   G                             C 
We can pat ourselves on the back 
                G       C 
And say that we tried 
       G                  C 
And if one of us makes it big 
       Dm           Am 
We can spill our regrets 
    Bm                             F/D 
And talk about how the love never dies 
            C    D2                   G 
But you and I         know the reason why 
    C                      G 
I'm gone, and you're still there 
    C                      G 
I'm gone, and you're still there 
    C                      G 
I'm gone, and you're still there 
Bm                         F/D 
 So, steal the show, and do your best 
                                Am 
To cover the tracks that I have left 
                             D7 
I wish you well and hope you find 
                        Am 
Whatever you're looking for 
                              D7 
The way I might've changed my mind 
                           Am    Bm     C    D7 
But you only showed me the door 
         G         C       G             C 
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best 
   G                             C 
We can pat ourselves on the back 
                G       C 
And say that we tried 
       G                  C 
And if one of us makes it big 
       Dm           Am 
We can spill our regrets 
    Bm                             F/D 
And talk about how the love never dies 
            C    D2  
But you and I                   
        C    F/D 
You and I-------- 
        C     D2                       G      C   G  C   G  C   G 
You and I             know the reason why
