Em
I should have known
   Gm
It seemed too easy
Em
You were there
   Gm                 Em Gm Em Gm
And I was breathing blue

Bm7         A                             Bm7
Strange baby, don't you think I'm looking older?
    Em
But something good has happened to me
Am7           F#m7-5          B+      B7
Change is a stranger you have yet to know

Chorus:
     B7sus4        Cmaj7             Bm7 B7sus4
Well you're out of time, I'm letting go,
          Cmaj7      Bm7          B7sus4
you'll be fine, well that much I know
              Cmaj7             Bm7 B7sus4
You're out of time, I'm letting go
            A#maj7  Dmaj7
I'm not the man you want

I should have known, it seemed so easy
You were there, I thought I needed you
You

Strange baby, don't you think I'm looking older?
But something good has happened to me
Change is a stranger who never seems to show

Chorus:
So you're out of time, I'm letting go, you'll be fine
Or maybe you won't
You're out of time, I'm letting go
I'm not the man that you want

Em                              Am7
I never should have looked back,  in your direction
Em                    Cmaj7            Am7   B7sus4
I know that, just the same old fights again, baby
Em               Am7             A7sus4
These are wasted days without affection
B+                      B7
I'm not that foolish anymore

Chorus:
So you're out of time, I'm letting go,
you'll be fine
Well, that much I know
You're out of time, I'm letting go
I'm not the man that you want
