C#m                     A
I know the rules of a break-up
E                       B
Delete your number and ruin your name
C#m                 A
Baby we can make a mess and make up
E                   B
Lie about it if I stay at your place

A
We could both be angry
B
Hate you and you hate me
C#m7
Or we can play that game
B
And stay the same

Chorus:
                              A
But what If we don't have to choose?
                       B
What if no one has to lose?
                         C#m
I hope you meet somebody who
                           B
Loves you like I couldn't do
                    G#m            A
'Cause baby you and me were never right
                                    B
But we ain't gotta be on different sides
                             C#m
So what if we just told the truth
                             B
Yeah, goodbye looks good on you
                        C#m7
And it looks good on me too
     A        E   B
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

We ain't gotta make a heartbreak harder
You ain't gotta make your mama hate me
I ain't gotta be a midtown martyr
I don't need a new girl to save me
We can still have the same friends
(The same friends)
We can sit at the same bar (Yeah, at the same bar)
I just want you happy and hope you are

Chorus:
But what if we don't have to choose?
What if no one has to lose?
I hope you meet somebody who
Loves you like I couldn't do
'Cause baby you and me were never right
But we ain't gotta be on different sides
So what if we just told the truth
Yeah goodbye looks good on you
And it looks good on me too
Oh-hoo, oh-hoo
Oh-hoo, oh-hoo
Goodbye, goodbye

A
We could both be angry (Angry)
B
Hate you and you hate me (Oh, don't hate me)
C#m
We can play that game
           B
But not today

Chorus:
But what if we don't have to choose?
What if no one has to lose?
I hope you meet somebody who
Loves you like I couldn't do
'Cause baby you and me were never right (Oh right)
But we ain't gotta be on different sides
(Be on different sides)
So what if we just told the truth (The hard truth)
Yeah goodbye looks good on you
And it looks good on me too
Oh-hoo, oh-hoo
And it looks good on me too
Oh-hoo, oh-hoo
And it looks good on me too
