E A I'm looking forward to another day without you The way I see it you could never do what I do I welcomed you with open arms You drove the knife right through my heart So now I'm crossing out the pain that's been tearing us apart Chorus: C#m B/D# A You were out of sight, now you're out of line C#m B/D# A B Went to your head, now you're left behind E G#m A Let me go, can't you see? B E You're just the next best thing to me G#m A Here I go, honestly B E You're just the next best thing to me I'm packing up my things and moving on without you As far as I can see you'll never do what I do I'm pushing you away, living out my dreams that you tore down Can't you swallow up your pride, admit defeat and finally drown F#m A E I think you're in over your head F#m Choking as the water fills your lungs A E Can't you see, to me you're dead B C#m Too late now, what's said is done Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  B  C#m  D#  E  F#m  G#m  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
