         Am    G       C
I have poured out my heart
     Am            G       F
And laid it right here for you
          Am    G  C
And I've tried so hard
  Am                 C     G
That's the best that I can do
  Am          G         C         F
Please understand I am not who I was.

Chorus:
    C                      G
You used to be all that I had,
 Am              G          F
now you're just not what I need.
 C                    G
I've got to get over you and I know,
 Am         G           C
then I can get back to me.

Tears forget, that's more than I can do
'Cause they don't wash away
All the things that we've been through
I've put behind me my share of the shame
We could call villains but it's all in vain

Chorus

F                   C
All of my life I've waited, hoping,
 G                                    F
wanting you to see me the way that I am.
            C                  G
But now I know that I'm not alone.
   G           C
Someone understands

Chorus:
You used to be all that I had
Now you're just not what I need
I've got to get over you and I know
Then I can get back to me
You've got to know that
You used to be all that I had
Now you're just not what I need
I've got to get over you and I know
Then I can get back to me

Then I can get back to me
(Then I can get back to me)
Then I can get back to me
