             B
It's not the end of the world, it's not even over
       F#
But it will be soon. I never learned my lessons
         B                 G#m
I just changed my tune and no one seems to notice
    F#             C#
But you will, you will

It's no big deal
But the last thing I think of when I close my eyes
And the first thing on my mind when I arise
It is a day and you're not really in my life

Chorus:
          B
You can try and you won't find it
              C#7
where you're looking
        F#                               B
You can hold it till it's putty in your hands
                G#m
And you can't break a heart that
            C#7
wasn't even yours to break
        B
You can never be there for me in the end
           G#m            C#7
And I will do the right thing.
    F#    G#m   B  F#
I will, I will, I will
    F#    G#m   B  F#
I will, I will, I will

You're not fooling me
I'm not the sort of girl who can't see reason
But it's nothing that a little bit of
time won't heal
I know it don't come easy, but I love you, I do

Coming clean
Means never closing curtains,
I just changed my scene
Oh but you know what I mean
And I will learn throughout my life to
never lean on what will bend

Chorus:
I can try and I won't find it where I'm looking
I can hold it till it's putty in my hands
You can't break a heart that wasn't even yours
to break
You could never be there for me in the end
But I will do the right thing
I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I will

B                                 C#
I don't think you ever learned a thing from me
        F#                                   B
But I'm sure that you want me to learn from you
                 G#m                          C#
And you've drawn heavy-handed lines around morality
           F#                                    F#7
About yourself, and I don't share your point of view

G#m                             B
It's been time to let you go a thousand times,
you'd never know
         B
That it hurts to be the one that you'd regret
  G#m                            C#
I have to say that I'm proud to know you
          B
And I'll never be the same because we met

You might not miss this
And I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I will
