G#                    A#m
Three years from now, I pictured us
        Fm                            C#
In that house that I dreamed of with you
G#              A#m
Look at us now, I'm packing my things
    Fm                       C#
Now memories are just empty rooms

G#                           A#m
I thought that I could be a little bit stronger
Fm                 C#
But it's killing me, you're so hard to leave
G#                   A#m              Fm        C#
I tell myself just another night longer with you

Chorus:
G#         A#m                     Fm
It hurts inside for me to walk away
                    C#                      G#
And I've tried, but you still got a hold on me
            A#m               Fm
I've always lost a love anyway
                   C#                      G#
And I thought that we could do it differently
                 D#sus4                Fm
Now everything I say, and everything I do
                       C#                G#
Don't matter 'cause it all comes back to you
           A#m                      Fm
It hurts inside for me to walk away
                    C#                      G#
And I've tried, but you still got a hold on me
A#m   Fm   C#
 Ooh, mmmh

It's been awhile since that day
I dried up all the waterfalls I cried
And I'm goin' out, Saturday night with my friends
But you're still on my mind

I thought that I would be a little bit stronger
But it's killing me, you're so hard to leave
I tell myself just another day longer without you

Chorus:
It hurts inside for me to walk away
But I've tried, but you still got a hold on me
I've always lost a love anyway
But I thought that we could do it differently
Now everything I say, and everything I do
Don't matter 'cause it all comes back to you
It hurts inside for me to walk away
And I've tried, but you still got a hold on me, oh
Got a hold on me, oh

It hurts inside for me to walk away
But I've tried, but you still got a hold on me
I've always lost a love anyway
But I thought that you could be the remedy
Now everything I say, and everything I do
Don't matter 'cause it all comes back to you
It hurts inside for me to walk away
And I've tried, but you still got a hold on me

Three years from now, I pictured us
In that house that I dreamed of with you
Look at us now, I'm packing my things
Now memories are just empty rooms
