A
there's something
                  F#m
that's been on my mind
that's why i've
               E
wasted all my time
being with a selfish
D    A/C# Bm A
girl like you
A
there's something
                F#m
that i've gotta say
that's why i can't
            E
go on this way
                    D
being hung up over you

    F#m              D
cuz i don't want to be the
         A
one you come to when you're
  E             D
crying on the phone
    F#m              D
and i don't want to be the
         A
one you come to when
         E          D  E
you're crying all alone

Chorus:
           A
because i don't think
          E
that you realize
       D
that what we have is
 E
gone and it will
 A                E
take to long for us
           D   A/C# Bm A
to get it back
   A
i don't think that
    E
you understand
    D
we won't get back
   E
together cuz
     A
our timing could have
E              D  E
never been so bad
         A  F#m D E
been so bad
         A  F#m D E
been so bad

There's something that's been on my mind
It's why I've wasted my time
Staying up all night thinking of you
There's something that I've gotta say
It's why I can't go on this way
Wondering what happened to our love

Cause I don't want to be the one
You come to when you found another guy
And I don't want to be the one
You come to when you want to say good bye

Chorus:
Cause I don't think that you realize
That what we had is gone
And it'll take too long for us to get it back
I don't think that you understand
We won't get back together
Cause our timing could have never been so bad
Been so bad
Been so bad
Been so bad

Now it's time for me to get on with my life
Cause our timing could have never been so bad
Been so bad
