 D 
I used to live my life in vein, 
   Am 
until today it's been the same, 
      C 
I've gone away to disappear, 
     G 
my life with you was just to near 
  

A better life is all I need, 
to free me from this naughty lead, 
I've been and gone and won't be back, 
I'll live my life without all that, 
  

     Am            C 
with my own eyes I realise, 
       Am              C 
it was time to say goodnight, 
Am          C 
I was never really sure but, 
G 
now I know I'm right 
  

I used to live my life in vein, 
until today it's been the same, 
I've gone away to disappear, 
my life with you was just to near 
  

   D 
A better life is all I need, 
    Am 
to free me from this naughty lead, 
      C                  D        G 
I've been and gone and I won't be back
