D                            Bm
I could say that I'll always be here for you,
     Em7
But that would be a lie
             G
and quite a pointless thing to do.
D                           Bm
And I could say that I'll always have
feelings for you,
    Em7
But I've got a life ahead of me
       G      A
and I'm only 22.

Chorus:
G             D/F#
Since you've gone I've lost that
A             D
chip on my shoulder,
G            D/F#
Since you've gone I feel like
A
I've gotten older
G              D/F#
And now you're gone it's as if the
  A                  D
whole wide world is my stage,
G               D/F#                 A
And now you're gone it's like I've been
               D
let out of my cage.

You always made it clear that you hated my friends
You made me feel so guilty when
I was running 'round with them
And everything was always about being cool
And now I've come to realize
there's nothing cool about you at all

Chorus - x2
