Intro: A# F C Dm

A#                            F
 People like you always want back
                    C
The love they gave away
                           Dm
And people like me wanna believe you
                       A#
When you say you cha-a-anged
                          F                    C
The more I think about it now the less I kno-o-ow
                       Dm
All I know is that you drove us off the road


A#
Stay, hey
                     F
All you had to do was, stay
                           C
Had me in the palm of your hand, hand
                         Dm                C
Why'd you have to go and lock me up when I let you in?


A#
Stay, hey
                       F
Now you say you want it, back
                       C
Now that it's just too late
                           Dm
Well, it could've been easy
               C           A#

               C
All you had to do was stay


A#                            F
 Here you are now calling me up
                         C
but I don't know what to say
                         Dm
I've been picking up the pieces
       C            A#
Of the mess you made
                            F
People like you always want back
                      C
The love they pushed aside
                            Dm
And people like me are gone forever

When you say goodbye
