 C#
All the time you spent on me,
the good times and the misery
        F#            G#
Do you wanna, do you wanna
 C#
Walk this road that no one sees
Behind closed doors no make believe
        F#            G#
Do you wanna, do you wanna

      A#m               G#
Wanna take some time to talk it out or

You say hello, goodbye, this time I'm leaving

I say that I'm not gonna be the one to tell our

This how the story, how the story ends

Now every time you're up at night
Trying to get your story right
Do you wanna, oh do you wanna
Call me up and play pretend
That everything is fine again
Do you wanna, yeah do you wanna

Wanna take some time to talk it out,
or is this how it's gonna be

Won't let you slip away this time

Yeah you better believe I'm gonna do anything I can
A#m             C#              F# F#m
Cause I really need you here tonight

Chorus:
You say hello, goodbye, this time I'm leaving
I say okay so long,
I don't believe
this change of plans is how the story ends
You say hello, goodbye, this time I'm leaving
I say okay so long,
I don't believe
this change of plans is how the story ends
You know I'll come right over when you're lonely
I say that I could be your one and only

Tell your friends this is how the story,
how the story ends
This is how the story ends
This is how the story ends
