Chorus                                                
G                            G                     C     
Well don't be sad 'cause you got what you wanted 
G                                      C       
             
D 
You should be glad to know that I'm finally gone 
            G                         C 
Don't feel bad or be disappointed 
                G                  D              G 
Cause you got what you wanted all along 

D                                  G 
Wasn't it you who said a blinded fool could see the 
D                                     G 
Clear plain truth about how deeply cruel it is to 
C 
Live a lie here with each other  
G 
And mourn a love that won't recover 
D                                          C                         G 
As I recall those were the very words I heard you use

D                                            G 
And wasn't it me who asked so stupidly if there were 
D                                    G 
Things that I could maybe do or try to somehow 
C 
Hold what fell apart together 
G 
But you just coldly told me never 
D                                               C                   G 
To even entertain the thought that our love would survive 

Chorus 
C            G                  D              G 
Yes you got what you wanted all along
