[Bb] I think about how [Eb] it [Bb] might have been
We [Eb]
[Bb] spend our days [Eb]
[Bb] traveling
It's [Eb]
[Cm] not that I [Bb] don't understand [Eb] you
It's not that I [Bb] don't wanna be with you
[F] But you only wanted me the way [Eb] you wanted me
So I [Bb] will head out [Cm] alone
[Bb] Hope for [Cm] the best
[Bb] Hang our heads down as [Cm] we kiss [Bb] [Cm] goodbyes
[Bb] You can tell the world [Cm] what you want them to hear
I've [Fm] got nothing left [Cm] to lose, my dear
[Dm] So I'm up for the little [Fm] white lie
You [Eb] and I
[F] Now the reason [Bb] why
I'm [Cm] gone and you're [Bb] still there
I'm [Cm] gone and you're [Bb] still there
I'm [Cm] gone and you're [Bb] still there
[Cm] [Bb]
I'm buying [Eb] magazines, searching for [Bb] your [Eb] face
[Bb]
Coast to [Eb] coast or wherever I find [Bb] my place
[Eb] [Cm]
Check you on [Bb] the radio
[Eb] Find your list [Bb] and a different name
[F] But as close as I get to you, it's not [Eb] the same
So [Bb] I will head [Cm] out alone
[Bb] Hope [Cm] for the best
[Bb] We can pat ourselves on the [Cm] back
And say that [Bb] we tried
[Cm] And [Bb] if one of us makes [Cm] it big
We [Fm] can spill our [Cm] regrets
Talk [Dm] about how the love never [Fm] died
But you [Eb] and I
[F]
Now the reason [Bb] why
I'm [Cm] gone and you're still [Bb] there
I'm [Cm] gone and you're [Bb] still there
I'm [Cm] gone and you're [Bb] still there
[Cm]
[Dm] So steal the show and [G] do your best
To cover the tracks that [Cm] I have left
I wish you well and hope [F] you find
Whatever you're [Cm] looking for
The way I might have [F] changed my mind
You only showed [Cm] me the door
So [Eb] [Cm]
[Bb] I will head out [Cm] alone
[Bb] Hope for [Cm] the best
[Bb] We can pat ourselves on the [Cm] back
And say that [Bb] we tried
[Cm]
And [Bb] if one of us makes [Cm] it big
We [Fm] can spill our [Cm] regrets
And [Dm] talk about how the love never [Fm] died
