Awesome song when stripped right down to just the guitar, and really easy to play!
The chords are just Bm, D, Em, G, F#m.
Alex Clare plays bar chords for the Bm, G and F#m all with NO CAPO.
INTRO: Bm, D, Em, G, F#m
Bm D Em G F#m
You know I'm not one to break promises
Bm D Em G F#m
I don't want to hurt you but I need to breathe
Bm D Em G F#m
At the end of it all, you're still my best friend
Bm D Em G F#m
But there's something inside that I need to release
Bm D
Which way is right, which way is wrong
Em Em G F#m
How do I say that I need to move on
Bm D Em G F#m
You know we're headed separate ways
CHORUS

Bm D Em G F#m
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
Bm D Em G F#m
There's nothing I can really say
Bm D
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more
Em G F#m
Got to be true to myself
Bm D Em G F#m
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
Bm D Em G F#m
So I'll be on my way
You gave me more that I can return Yet there's so much that you deserve Nothing to
say, nothing to do, I've nothing to give I must leave without you
You know we're headed separate ways
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There's nothing I can really say
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more, got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you So I'll be on my way
So I'll be on my way
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There's nothing I can really say
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more, got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you So I'll be on my way
So I'll be on my way
