Chorus:
                B       E
I’m giving you bad bad news
                   G#m
I think I might’ve fallen
                    E
out of love with you
          B
Years of fighting and
        E
hiding feelings All those
G#m                    E
nights staring at the ceiling

B         F#/A#
I keep on thinking that
   G#m      F#      E
I might be better alone

I might be better alone

     B            F#/A#
Sometimes when I get
          G#m
back from work I wish
F#          E
no one was home
I wish no one was home

        F#  G#m
I start reminiscing about
      E        B
good times we had Like
    F#     G#m
I’m always missing
         E         B
what we can’t get back

Chorus:
                B       E
I’m giving you bad bad news
                   G#m
I think I might’ve fallen
                    E
out of love with you
          B
Years of fighting and
        E
hiding feelings All those
G#m                    E
nights staring at the ceiling

                B       E
I’m giving you bad bad news
              G#m
Now I think I know what
            E
I already knew The truth is
D#m                   E
out so there’s no pretending
                 B
I guess there’s no such
            F#
thing as a happy ending

B F#     G#m
    This is the last song
     E
I’ll ever write for you
B F# G#m
     No more telling me
E
I’m not right for you
B F# G#m
     Save your breath
         E
there’s nothing left to do
B F#     G#m
    This is the last song
     E
I’ll ever write for you

Chorus:
                B       E
I’m giving you bad bad news
                   G#m
I think I might’ve fallen
                    E
out of love with you
          B
Years of fighting and
        E
hiding feelings All those
G#m                    E
nights staring at the ceiling

                B       E
I’m giving you bad bad news
              G#m
Now I think I know what
