     G#
The heart that I gave
The dreams that I made
With someone who don't care
    C#
The times that I wasted
Feelings I chased
That led me to nowhere
     G#
The sleepless nights, the drag-on fights
The silence always won
     C#
The tears that I cried
The breaking inside
The loneliness to come

Chorus:
        C#                 D#
It's alright, is this goodbye
      Fm
Won't hurt me for too long
         G#        D#
I'll be fine on my own
                 C#
It'll take some time
                D#
But I know that I
       A#m          G#/C
I can find where I belong
         C#      D#    G#
And I'll find it in a song

This song's about freedom, searching for new love
How ignorance is bliss
I know that I’m not the only fool
who’s been hurt just like this
Yeah, songs about making honest mistakes
And heartaches I've gone through
Yeah, then I’ll forgive
I won’t have to forget
All the good things about you

Chorus:
It's alright, yeah, this goodbye
Won’t hurt me for too long
I’ll be fine on my own
It'll take some time
But I know that I
I can find where I belong
And I’ll find it in a song

Well I'm sure if I had the chance to go back
I'd change more than I should
But knowing I can't is helping my chances
Of moving on for good
Now I'm not saying there won't be
too many lonely nights
But the songs that I choose getting over you
Help me make it out alive

Chorus:
It's alright, this goodbye
Won’t hurt me for too long
I’ll be fine on my own
It's gonna take some time
But I know that I
I can find where I belong
And I’ll find it in a song

Yeah, I'll find it in a song
Find it in a song
I'll find myself in a song
I'll find myself in a song
