On Your Own Chords by Lalah Hathaway

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Ooh _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ If you were meant to be together
_ [Fm]
Then _ _ you would [Eb] know that it's [Gm] right _
After all this _ [Bb] time
_ _ He'd be by [Bbm]
[Db] his side _ _
And _ [F] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ if it were meant to be forever
But [Eb] _
you'd _ still [Ab] be living in a dream
[Eb] _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ So _ [Db] it _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] seems
[Ab] _ _ [Db] _
So [Cm] for all the [Bbm] times you cry
And [Db] _
_ _ [Cm] the many [Dm] times he _ [Fm] lies _ _
[Db] _ [Eb] I'll tell you [Bbm] cause I [Db] know
You can [Cm] make [Bbm] it [Ab] on [Db]
your own
_ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ So your heart belongs to you now
[Fm] _
And [Ab] _ you know that it's right
_ [E] _ [Gm]
Free from that make-believe [Gm] love story
Back _ [Eb] in [Db] your _ _ mind _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Eb]
You're so much _ better _ _ off
_ [Fm] _
Leaving yesterday _ _ behind
_ _ _ [Gm] But _ [Bb] always, _ always
_ _ _ Hold on [Db] to the light _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _
So [Fm] for all of [Bbm] your _ regrets
_ _ [Fm] _
_ [Cm] Drop a heart won't [F] let you forget
[Bb] _ _ [Dm] _ [Db] _
_ [Eb] I can tell you [Ab] cause I [Db] know
_ You can [Eb] make [Bbm] it [Ab] on [Bbm] your _ own
_ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ _
You'll be wiser in the morning
_ [Db] So much stronger [Ab] when [Gm] the sun _ _ _ rises
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ So don't find your fear alarming
If [E] pain will [Gm] dissipate [Eb] by _ nightfall
[Gm] _ _
When [Db] _ _ the rain comes, the [Bbm] pain [Fm] goes
Washing _ [Db] away [Gm] the remains of a battered _ [Bb] _
soul
[Db] Trouble _ won't [Fm] last always
[Db] _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] [Eb] Believe me, there'll be a brighter _ _ [Bb]
day
_ [Db] _ _ _

times you [Fm] cry
For every single tear
_ [Eb] For every single [F] time you _ try
[Bbm] _ [Db] _
