Verse 1:
G#m                   C#m 
i know we've been to hell and back 
A Asus2 A           E 
and heaven now and then 
G#m                C#m 
I've given you the best of me 
A                      B 
until the worst kicked in 
G#m             C#m 
I never really trusted love 
A Asus2 A         E 
I didn't trust myself 
G#m                C#m 
I can't hang on to hold you back 
A                  B 
You need something else (believe me)

Verse 2:
G#m                    C#m 
You fell in love with damaged goods 
A Asus2 A        E 
a broken man at best 
G#m                   C#m 
I've given and I've taken love 
A                     B 
but always failed the test 
G#m                         C#m 
So I'll do right now what I should have done 
A Asus2 A             E 
It's time to tell the truth 
G#m             C#m 
Leaving is the best thing that 
A                B 
I'll ever do for you (it's true)

Verse 3:
G#m                   C#m 
It's not that I don't want to love 
A Asus2 A          E 
I want to love so bad 
G#m                C#m 
I probably need it more than most 
A                       B 
and that's why it's so sad 
G#m                        C#m 
Darlin' you can't love the two of us 
A Asus2 A          E 
enough to make it last 
G#m                       C#m 
God only knows I tried so hard 
A                   B 
But now our time is passed 


E                           B            G#        C#m  A   B 
Lovin' you is the next best thing I ever wanted to do
