G                 C              G      C
 I think about how it might have been
G                 C              G      C
 We'd spend our days travelin'
Am                     G
 It's not that I don't understand you
Am                     G
 It's not that I don't want to be with you
        Am
But you only wanted me
            C
The way you wanted me

           G         C       G             C
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
           G
And we can hang our heads down
     C             G     C
As we skip the goodbyes
            G                       C
And you can tell the world what you want them to hear
         Dm              Am
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
        Bm                      F/D
So, I'm up for the little white lies
            C    D2                   G
But you and I         know the reason why
    C                      G
I'm gone, and you're still there
    C                      G
I'm gone, and you're still there
    C                      G
I'm gone, and you're still there

G                   C                   G       C
 I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
G                       C                  G       C
 From coast to coast or wherever I find my place
Am                     G
 I'll track you on the radio, and
     Am                  Dm
I'll sign your list in a different name
       Am
But as close as I get to you
             C
It's not the same

           G         C       G             C
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
   G                             C
We can pat ourselves on the back
                G       C
And say that we tried
       G                  C
And if one of us makes it big
       Dm           Am
We can spill our regrets
    Bm                             F/D
And talk about how the love never dies
            C    D2                   G
But you and I         know the reason why
    C                      G
I'm gone, and you're still there
    C                      G
I'm gone, and you're still there
    C                      G
I'm gone, and you're still there


Bm                               F/D
 So, steal the show, and do your best
                                Am
To cover the tracks that I have left
                             D7
I wish you well and hope you find
                        Am
Whatever you're looking for
                              D7
The way I might've changed my mind
                           Am    Bm     C    D7
But you only showed me the door

           G         C       G             C
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
   G                             C
We can pat ourselves on the back
                G       C
And say that we tried
       G                  C
And if one of us makes it big
       Dm           Am
We can spill our regrets
    Bm                             F/D
And talk about how the love never dies
            C    D2
But you and I                  
        C    F/D
You and I--------
        C     D2                       G      C   G  C   G  C   G
You and I             know the reason why
