  Intro: C5 

  C5                        F                         
  You don't owe me one more minute of your wasted time. 
  G                           
  You act like it's all fine. 
  C5                                     F                           
  But all the years I gave you, thinking you knew that you wanted me, 
  G 
  I wanted to believe... 

    

        Am                        C  
        I've got to make a destination. 
        G         
        Find where I belong. 
        Am                           C 
        This time, I've got no hesitation 
        G                  Dm  Am           F  G 
        And I'll be moving on (To where I belong). 
                   Dm Am 
        I'm moving on. 
        
       |  Am G X2|  C5 | 

 I'm tired of trying to describe what you will never see, 
 How good we could be. 
 You gave up and lost touch and now you're looking for a little grace. 
 Well, look at my face. 


         Am                        C  G 
         I've got to make a destination. 
                  
         Find where I belong. 
         Am                            C  G 
         There ain't no time for hesitation. 
         G              Dm  Am           F  G 
         I'll be moving on (To where I belong). 
                        Dm  Am                 F  G 
         I'll be moving on (Over the line I've drawn). 
                     Dm          (Am) 
         I'm already gone (Gone.) 

       | Am G  X6| 

         Bridge: 
  
              Am G  Am  G   Am  G     Am   G  
              Empty corner, but I'll keep moving, 
              Am   G Am   G    Am     G   Am   G  
              Taking hits while you've been missing. 
              Am    G      Am   G     
              Night after night after... 

  C5  
  I hear you say we're solid but I know we're looking through the cracks 
  In our little pact. 
  It isn't hard to leave knowing that I'll be getting life on track, 
  Never looking back!
