  			Em           G 
Why did you say  
                    D 
You would always stay 
                 Am 
I've just realized you're not 

Em           G 
You used to say 
                 D 
I'm your best friend 
             Am 
But you have a million of them 

Em        G 
I adored you 
               D 
So much that ached 
              Am 
Sometimes it seemed my heart would break 
Em           G                  D    Am 
But I'm still sure it wasn't love 

    G   
So why  
      D 
Do I keep   
             Am 
Letting you lie saying you love me 
                   C 
When it's no need hiding 
That you're done with this 

    G 
So why 
                D 
Did you let me in 
                  Am 
If you weren't ready to the mess I am 
          C 
And I'm tired of being in second place 

Em  
Not long ago 
G              D 
We were just strangers 
        Am 
Everything was so much easier 
Em            G            D 
Now I have problems I dont know 
       Am 
How to deal with 

Em              G 
Sometimes you love me 
              D 
Sometimes you hate me 
            Am 
And you dont need to say a word 
Em              G 
If you're not okay 
           D            Am 
I clearly see it in your face 

    G   
So why  
      D 
Do I keep   
             Am 
Letting you lie saying you love me 
                   C 
When it's no need hiding 
That you're done with this 

    G 
So why 
                D 
Did you let me in 
                  Am 
If you weren't ready to the mess I am 
          C 
And I'm tired of being in second place
