[A]
[G]
[Bm] [A]
[C#] I've [D] been holding on to this [A] for too long Trying to make it [G] by day to day
Continue to wait [Bm] for you to come [A] around [D] But you don't ever seem to get [A] the picture
Or maybe I refuse [G] to listen to my friends [Bm] That you're just too good [A] for me
[D] So I'll pretend that I'm happy for you [A] and him When he comes [D]
around
[Bm] But I hope I'm not [G] around
I hope [D] I'm moving to New York [F#m] or to Ridnelly [A] I hope [Bm] I never get the chance to [G] see his face
I'm [D] not angry, I'm just jealous of [A] whoever he will be
[D]
But [Bm] I know you'll be happier [G] if he isn't me
[D]
[F#m] If he isn't me
[E] [Bm]
So [G]
[D] what now?
Where am I supposed [A] to go from here?
It's harder than it looks [G] if I give it a couple years When [A] lonely feelings forget [D] they're [E] hurting
[D] They tell me how do I get over [A] perfection No one seems to mention [G] I guess my friends were right
They're [B] just too good for [F#m] me
[E]
[D] So I'll pretend that I'm happy for you [A] and him When he comes around
[F#] But I'm not [G] around
[E] [A] I hope [D] I'm moving to New York or [A] to Ridnelly I hope [Bm] I never get the chance to [G] see his face
I'm [D] not angry, I'm just jealous [A] of whoever he will be
But [Bm] I know you'll be [B] happier if [G] he isn't [E] me
No, I don't want an [D] answer but [F#m] I'll keep that to [F#] myself
Cause [E] I see it in your [Bm] face, that's [A] not what you want me [C#m] to [D] say
[G] Not what you want me to say
[D] So I'll pretend that I'm happy for you [A] and him When he comes around
But I'm not [G] around
[Em] I hope [D] I'm moving to New York or [A] to Ridnelly I hope [Bm] I never get the chance to [G] see his face
I'm [D] not angry, I'm just jealous of [F#m] whoever he will be
[D]
But [Bm] I know you'll be happier if [G] he isn't me
[N]
