  			D                          Bm 
Never really felt like I belonged. 
D                               G 
Just about that time, you came along. 
Em           A         D               Bm 
Lead me to expect your love and your respect, 
    G                                   A 
But lately you don't let those feelin's show. 
D                            Bm 
I don't really want somebody else, 
    D                            G 
But I won't be your prize upon a shelf. 
    Em                    A            D                Bm 
I'd rather feel this emptiness than be something you possess. 
   G                 A        D 
If you don't want me,  let me go. 

G 
Can't we both admit we made the most of it, 
            D 
And we were wrong. 
G 
Don't you realize the best years of our lives 
             D                A 
Will soon be gone if you hold on? 
 
 
D                                      Bm 
I know there must be more to life than this: 
D                                 G 
Neglected vows wrapped in a token kiss. 
Em           A              C#   Bm 
Lonely and ignored, I can't take it any more. 
   G                 A 
If you don't want me, 
   C#         Bm 
If you don't love me, 
   G                 A        D 
If you don't want me,  let me go
