_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ I would [Dm] _ [F] stop breathing [Dm] if you told me to.
[Am] Now you're busy loving someone else.
_ [Dm] Eleven years [F] of all my [Dm] life.
[D] Besides the kids [Am] I have nothing to show.
Wasted [Dm] my years, all full of lies.
I [C] should have left your ass long time ago.
[G] Well [F] I'm not gonna cry.
[C] I'm not gonna [Am] cry.
[Dm] I'm not gonna shed [C] no tears.
[F] No I'm not gonna [C] cry.
_ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [F] _
Can't you wait?
_ _ _ [C] I said I can't [Am] you wait.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Am]
You were never worth my tears.
_ [C] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] [Am] I was never [Dm] in your sector there, [Am] working every day of the _ _ [Dm] week.
[F] Sat the clock when no [Dm] one else was there, [Am] helping you get on your feet.
_ [Dm] Eleven years of [F] _
sacrifice, [Dm] [G] and [Am] you could leave me at the drop of a dime.
Swallow [Dm] my fears, [F] stood by your [Dm] side.
I [F] should have left you with a thousand [C] times.
_ _ _ [F] _ [C] I'm not gonna [Dm] cry, I'm not gonna stand [F] on two feet.
_ [C] I'm not gonna cry, it's not the [Am] time, [Dm] cause you're not [F] worth my time.
_ _ I'm not gonna cry, [C] I'm not _ [Am] _ [Dm] gonna [F] stand on two feet.
I'm not gonna cry, it's not _ _ _ [C]
the [Am] time, cause you're [F] not worth [Am] my time.
[C] I _ _ know there are no guarantees, _ in love you'll take your chances.
[F] But somehow this seems unfair to me, _ [D] look at the _ circumstances.
_ [C] Through sickness and health, till death do us part.
[Am] Those were the words that we [Dm] said from our heart.
[Bb] So now when you say that you're [Eb] leaving me, [C] I don't [F] get that part.
[B] _ _ [Dm] _ I [F] was your lover [Dm] in your sector there, [Am] working every day of the week.
_ _ [Dm] Was [G] at the [Dm] job when no one else was there, [Am] helping you get off me.
Eleven [Dm] years [F] of _ [Dm]
sacrifice, and you could [Am] leave me at the drop of a dime.
Swallow [Dm] my [F] fears, stood by [Dm] your side.
I [F] should have left you with a thousand times.
[C] _ _ _ [F] I'm not gonna cry, _ [C] _
_ _ [Dm] I'm not gonna stand on two [F] feet.
I'm _ _ _ _ _ not gonna [C] cry, it's [Am] not worth the [Dm] time, or your life.
[F] I'm _ _ not _ _ [C] gonna cry, I'm not gonna stand on [Am] two feet.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
