G C G C
I think about how it might have been
G C G C
We'd spend our days travelin'
Am G/B
It's not that I don't understand you
Am G/B
It's not that I don't want to be with you
D
But you only wanted me
C
The way you wanted me
G Am G Am
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
G
And we can hang our heads down
Am G Am
As we skip the goodbyes
G Am
And you can tell the world what you want them to hear
Dm Am
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
Bm Dm
So, I'm up for the little white lies
C D G
But you and I know the reason why
Am G
I'm gone, and you're still there
Am G
I'm gone, and you're still there
Am G
I'm gone, and you're still there
G C G C
I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
G C G C
From coast to coast or wherever I find my place
Am G
I'll track you on the radio, and
Am G
I'll sign your list in a different name
D
But as close as I get to you
C
It's not the same
