C I never knew perfection ‘til C/E I heard you speak, and now it kills me F Just to hear you say the simple things C Now waking up is hard to do C/E And sleeping’s impossible too F A# Everything’s reminding me of you What can I do? Chorus: C C/B It’s not right, not okay Am7 Am7/G D7/F# Say the word that you'll say F Maybe we’re better off this way C C/B I’m not fine, I’m in pain Am7 Am7/G D7/F# It’s harder everyday F Maybe we’re better off this way It’s better that we break.. a fool to let you slip away I chase you just to hear you say You’re scared and that you think that I’m insane The city looks so nice from here Pity I can’t see it clearly While you’re standing there, it disappears It disappears Chorus: It’s not right, not okay Say the word that you'll say Maybe we’re better off this way I’m not fine, I’m in pain It’s harder everyday Maybe we’re better off this way It’s better that we break up Saw you sitting all alone You’re fragile and you’re cold, but that’s all right Life these days is getting rough It knocks you down and beats you up But it’s just a roller coaster anyway, yeah Chorus: It’s not right, not okay Say the word that should say Maybe we’re better off this way I’m not fine, I’m in pain It’s harder everyday Maybe we’re better off this way I’m not fine, not okay Say the word that you'll say Maybe we’re better off this way I’m not fine, I’m in pain It’s harder everyday Maybe we’re better off this way It’s better that we break, baby You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  A#  Am7  C  D7  E  F  F#  G  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
