G              A                   Bm
I can honestly understand why it's over
G                     A                   D
I can go through the motions of walking away
G                   A               Bm
I can give you the key and take my things back
G                   A               D
I can find plenty things to fill my days

Chorus:
                      G            Bm
But I don't know how not to think about you
           A
When it's late at night and quiet
                   G              Bm
and I know that I ought to be the one
          A
who is strong and just moves on
                               G
but I probably turn down your road,
                     Bm
knock knock on your door,
                  D                     A
fall back in your arms, wake up in the morning,
        G
hating myself for the way that
   Bm                         A
I can't help the way I still want you
                      G
I just don't know how not to,
     Bm          A
how not to, how not to
                       G
I just don't know how not to,
     Bm          A
how not to, how not to

You're like second nature, baby,
you're just like breathing
Melody that you hear and you can't forget
Time goes by and I still need you
Yeah, you're worth the heartbreak and the regret

Chorus - x2

How not to
Mmmmmm
Oh-oh-oh-oh
