I don't wanna know, oh

But I know that I'm never, ever gonna change
    Gm

Dm                           F
Why do we always gotta run away?

And we wind up in the same place
                                      A#
It's like we're looking for the same thing
      Gm
Same thing, yeah

Yeah, do we really gotta do this now?
Right here with all your friends around
In the morning, we can work it out
Work it out

Dm                         F
I love you so much that I hate you

Every time that you say you're gonna leave
That's when you get the very best of me
You know we need it like the air we breathe
Air we breathe, yeah

The hardest part of all (Da-da-da-dum-da-da)

Is that we're only built to fall (Is it easier?)

Chorus:
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don't wanna know, oh (Oh)
But I know that I'm never, ever gonna change
And you know that you're always gonna stay the same
(Is it easier?)
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go? (Yeah)
I don't wanna know, oh (Oh)
But I know that I'm never, ever gonna change
And you know you don't want it any other way
