Let's take a walk tonight 
                        Em 
we're gonna talk this out 
                                G 
the moon is holding up my alibis 


D                               G 
so what if you're with him tonite? 
                        Em 
so what if I cant be there? 
                                G 
you were never really with me anyway 


Pre-chorus
 
E       F#m            G 
with hopes of starting over 

(I'll send you post card when I get there) 
Em      F#m 
anywhere

one day I will find you even when you're not around 

don't say "we won't last any longer" 
                                Bm 
or "you will find someone better" 
                        A               G 
it's you that I'm waiting for so I'll wait for you 
(I can't let you go if you keep holding my hand) 
                                        A 
take notes that we'll still have each other 

we'll drive away

before I break your heart 
                                G 
the moon is down so no more alibis 


D                               G 
so what if you're with him tonite? 
                        Em 
so what if I cant be there? 
                                G 
you were never really with me anyway
