G 
I guess your off to have your fun 
                            A7 
another ending just begun 
                                 C 
and I know what I don't see 
                             D 
really shouldn't bother me 
 

 C                             G 
so go and have yourself a ball 
                                  A7 
you'll be at noone's beck and call 
                                    C 
and with that fire in your eyes 
                                   D7 
another lovers moon will rise 
                                  G 
someone else will take the fall 
 
CHORUS: 
               Am7     G/B       C 
and that's just the way you are 
                   G 
i've known all along 
                        A7 
some candles always burn 
                            D 
even when the night is gone 
                        G/B  C 
but the strongest of   flames 
                     Em 
won't burn eternally 
 
when you find another friend 
C                                            D7 
who lights your candle up again 
                                  G 
you can burn one down for me 
 

 C                              G 
So you don't matter anymore 
                           A7 
I'll convince myself I'm sure 
                  C 
as if I give a da*n 
                           D 
that's just the way I am 
 

                                                G 
So go on and pour yourself some wine 
                                A7 
with who'll ever spend your time 
                            C 
'cause anyone can see 
                                  D7 
you won't be cryin' over me 
                            G 
and you never were that kind
