      A
I'm writing this song to
C#m                D
tell you that I'm sorry
            A
Because I know you never
thought that I'd
C#m         D   E
be away so long
    A                C#m
I know its unfair to ask
                 D
for you to wait for me
    A
But I don't have a real job
           C#m           D E
and you're ready to move on

        F#m
And its hard to
         D
keep my balance
          A              E
when you look the other way
       F#m
So I'm letting go with
D               E
every breath I take in

Chorus:
         A         F#m
So many reasons I need
           D         E
something more to believe
        D
in The time has come to
                E
turn and walk away
Through all these
  A        F#m
changes mistakes
           D
There was time now
     E
its too late
         D
There's nothing more
     E
that I could say to you

I'm writing this song
to tell you that it's over
Your jealousy took you way
too far this time
Another day comes
I'm better off without you
So now i'll take a deep breath
and get on with our lives

It's hard to keep my balance
When you look the other way
So I'm letting go with
every breath I'm taking

Chorus

F#m                D
So what good is today
F#m
If there's not
       E      D
gonna be a tomorrow?
F#m
It's too much
           D
for me to take
F#m
I know you don't
       E
wanna wait forever
 D                  F#m
Just remember that life
                         E
without us won't be the same

Chorus
