           D#         Gm A#
The car's runnin' outside
       D#          Gm A#
I got tears in my eyes
            D#             Gm A#
And you're beggin' me to stay
          D#      Gm A#
But I'm drivin' away

Cm
Yeah, I know I let you down
D#
Tryin' not to turn around

Chorus:
D#                        Gm
Doin' eighty-five 'til I see the sun
A#                           Cm
Head's a mess and my body's numb
D#                            Gm
No one ever taught me how to hurt someone
A#                                      Cm            D#
Breakin' your heart's the hardest thing I've ever done

Gm A#    Cm                      D#
    The hardest thing I've ever done

Highway's lit up in red
I guess I made my bed
Don't know if you'll believe me
But leavin' you isn't easy

Chorus:
Doin' eighty-five 'til I see the sun
Head's a mess and my body's numb
No one ever taught me how to hurt someone
Breakin' your heart's the hardest thing I've ever done

The hardest thing I've ever done

    Cm
Got tears in my eyes
   D#
I never been good at sayin' goodbye
      Cm
I got tears in my eyes
  D#
I never been good at sayin' goodbye

Chorus:
Now I'm doin' eighty-five 'til I see the sun
Head's a mess and my body's numb
No one ever taught me how to hurt someone
Breakin' your heart's the hardest thing I've ever done
Baby, don't you cry, it'll be alright
You and I sleep alone tonight
No one ever taught me how to hurt someone
Breaking your heart's the hardest thing I've ever done

The hardest thing I've ever done
Mm

Yeah, I know I let you down
Tryin' not to turn around
