Verse 
Cmaj7 
By the last time in the car,  
Cmaj7          Em 
Then I already knew 
Cmaj7 
At the time I laughed 
Cmaj7    Em 
I didn't know what to believe 

Cmaj7             Em9 
Couldn't stay for you 
Cmaj7                 Em9 
What a strange way to lose 

Verse 
Cmaj7 
I couldn't take you 
Cmaj7         Em 
Don't confuse being set free 
Em 
With being discarded and lonely 
Em 
I tried to tell you we never change 
Cmaj7 
I let you go and when I left 
Cmaj7 
I really tried to tell myself 
Cmaj7      Em 
It was for me... it was for me and not you 

Cmaj7             Em9 
Couldn't stay for you 
Cmaj7                 Em9 
What a strange way to lose
