F
Big dreams even time couldn't change
Dm
No fear just a heart full of break
A#
You don't feel you belong in this place
           C
And you're asking, yeah you're asking

How to pack, how to find your own freedom
How to find all the things that you need and
I'll be one of the things that you leavin'
I feel it, I can see it

                Dm      Am
And you'll know if I'm lying
      A#
So I won't even try
         Dm         Am
I don't mean to be quiet
        A#
But I know you need to fly

Chorus:
                    F
So tell me what to do about it
               Dm
Tell me how to say goodbye
                      A#
How am I supposed to live without you
                      C
Don't wanna lose my world tonight
                   F
Tell me this will make you happy
              Dm
What am I supposed to say
                A#
Tell me what to do about it
                 C
Does it have to end this way

Make a joke, make it seem like it's nothing
Write a note so that I can keep something
I'm a mess and you know I'm not good at pretending
Oh no

So we smile while we're crying
Holding oceans back inside
And I try to be quiet
As I watch our dreams collide

Chorus

And you'll know if I'm lying
So I won't even try
I don't mean to be quiet
But I know you need to fly

Chorus:
So tell me what to do about it
Tell me how to say goodbye
How am I supposed to live without you?
Don't wanna lose my world tonight
Tell me this will make you happy
What am I supposed to say?
Tell me what to do about it
Does it have to end this way?

Oh, tell me what to do about it
Does it have to end this way?
