verse 1 
E 
I'm not saying I'm angry now 
                    E7 
I'm just wondering why 
                 A 
You changed your mind 
                E 
Happens all the time 

E 
How does it feel to have a winning hand 
                             E7 
From a first-rate failure to the 
                     A 
Leader in the chosen land 
                   E 
People never understand 

       D                    A 
If the world keeps spinning round 
           E 
It'll be alright 
     D                        A 
You said if you were on your own 
                  E       B 
You could really fly 
 A 
And while you're up there turn around 
              E       B 
And touch the sky 
 A 
I guess the point of getting out 
                   E 
Is never saying goodbye 

verse 3 
E 
You learn your lessons in the 

Hardest time 
                  E7 
Run out of patience 
                        A 
Lean on the bold face lie 
                     E 
People never wonder why 

E 
I feel too tired to scream and shout 
             E7 
Left in the sun 
                          A 
'til the colours all fade out 
                       E 
Prayin it'll all work out 

       D                    A 
If the world keeps spinning round 
           E 
It'll be alright 
     D                        A 
You said if you were on your own 
                  E       B 
You could really fly 
 A 
And while you're up there turn around 
              E       B 
And touch the sky 
 A 
I guess the point of getting out 
                   E      B 
Is never saying goodbye 
 A 
Dont even think that all 
                             E      B      A 
we do is sit around and just cry
