        D                 Em          A 
You can keep that diamond ring that I gave you 
         D                    Em                    G     A 
Keep the boat, the house, the clothes, the dog, the car 
           Em             G             A 
Everything that we bought from the very start 
      G                      A            D 
And I tell you what, you can even have my heart 

Chorus 
              Em            G                A 
Cause I won't need it after all the hell you put me through 
            D           Em               G      A 
Yeah, It'll be awhile before I can love again 
        Em              G                  A 
All the ripping and the tearing you did to my insides 
           G               A             D 
Well, It's safe to say you took me for a ride

And sure that you won?t try to call 
      Bm                            G 
Don't send your little brother over to collect anything

Cause there?s nothing here, you already have it all

That you promised that I?d never have to see you again
