C                                  Gm
I'm not sitting with my head in my hands right now
C                         Gm
I don't care where you've been
C                                         Gm
No, I ain't watching the clock or getting my
phone out
C                        Gm
I won't drink myself to sleep, oh, oh

A#
You don't, you don't get under my skin no more
    F
No, it's gone, it's gone
                               C
I ain't thinking 'bout you no more

Chorus:
  Gm                     A#
I found a way to let you go
    F                      C
So you don't have to stay now
           Gm
A broken mind
         A#
I came close
     F                      C
But you can't rip my heart out
            Gm
I'm giving up
            A#
I'm giving up
              F Fsus4 C
I'll give you up
   Gm                     A#
I found a way to let you go
      F                    C
It's gonna rip your heart out

Got your picture covering up the cracks on the wall
But the lines won't fade
Didn't think that I would be missing you at all
Maybe that was my mistake
Oh, oh

You don't, you don't, get under my skin no more
No, it's gone, it's gone
I ain't thinking 'bout you no more

Chorus

C                    Gm
Nothing you say will change my mind
A#                   F
You couldn't wait to leave me behind
C                    Gm
Nothing you say will change my mind
A#                   F
You couldn't wait to leave me behind
C                    Gm
Nothing you say will change my mind
A#                   F
You couldn't wait to leave me behind

Chorus
