verse 1
Bb A7
I’ve always had one foot out the door
Dm
I don’t wanna play this game no more
F
I don’t wanna let you down
F7
I don’t wanna see you drown
Bb A7
I’ve always had one hand on your heart
Dm
The other one pulling us apart
F
I don’t wanna let you go
Bb
Why do you wait for me
Am
And let me hurt you
Dm
Why can’t I set you free to someone
F F7
Who deserves you
Bb
Don’t tell me that you’re fine
Am
Don’t say it’s worth it
Dm
I might spend my whole life
F
In search of something perfect

Bb
Give me all your love, give me all your time
A7 Dm
And I’ll show you how to carefully throw it away for sure
‘Till there’s no more
F F7
You’ll never get it back no no no no no no
Bb
Please don’t ask me how I say nice things
Am
When I know right now what the future brings
Dm
I know damn well that this ain’t my dream
F F7
But somehow I still don’t know what it means
Bb
Sitting in the car trying to tell you that you’re wrong
Am
Tell you that you’re crazy but you knew it all along
Dm
I put that on, I never meant to try and put you on
F
How did you stay here so long
Bb
Why do you wait for me
Am
And let me hurt you

Why can’t I set you free to someone

verse 3
Bb
It ain’t crazy that I want you
A7
But it’s crazy that I got you
Dm F
Even crazier I take for granted everything
F7
I used to worship
Bb
Now it’s obvious my dreams are yelling out to me
Am
And I paid a couple shrinks to spell it out for me
Dm
There’s no way for this to go without a casualty
F F7
I just can’t imagine me ever having apathy for you
Bb Am
Tell me what else I need to know
Dm
I got your unconditional
F
Devoted affection and
I ain’t learned my lesson yet
