(No Capo)

Intro.:  |(D) |(C) |(Bm) |(Em)(A)

It was (D)running through my mind, I was (C)running out of time
(Bm) And it was time to let you (Em)go (A)
(D)No more right or wrong, no more (C)crying all night long
Even (Bm)though it's lonely here a-(Em)lone (A)

(Pre-Chorus)
When the (Bm)phone rings I (A)almost wish that (G)it was you
There's (Bm)nothing left to (A)say and (Em)nothing we can (A)do

(Chorus)
I (D)(Em) can (G)stand on (A)my own two feet
And (D)I (Em) know (G)this is best (A)for you and me
Be-(F#m)lieve me, it's not (Em)easy, (F#m)I can feel the pain (G)(A)
It (D)hurts so (Em)much to (G)leave, (A) but not enough --- (D) to stay

Solo:   / / / |(C) |(Bm) |(Em)(A)

You've con-(D)vinced me before to (C)come back for more
Well, (Bm)this time I'm not turning a-(Em)round (A)
I'm (D)sure one more try is bound to (C)end in goodbye
And I've (Bm)come too far to turn back (Em)now (A)

(Pre-Chorus)
I know the (Bm)hardest part is (A)over and I (G)take a breath
(Bm)Now we can look (A)forward to (Em)better days a-(A)head

(Chorus)
Oh, I (D)(Em) can (G)stand on (A)my own two feet
And (D)I (Em) know (G)this is best (A)for you and me
Be-(F#m)lieve me, it's not (Em)easy, (F#m)I can feel the pain (G)(A)
It (D)hurts so (Em)much to (G)leave, (A) but not enough --- (G) --- to stay

Solo:   / / / |(F#m) --- |(G) --- |(F#m) --- |(Bm)(A/C#)|(G)(A)

(Chorus)
Oh, I (D)(Em) can (G)stand on (A)my own two feet
And (D)I (Em) know (G)this is best (A)for you and me
Be-(F#m)lieve me, it's not (Em)easy, (F#m)I can feel the pain (G)(A)
It (D)hurts so (Em)much to (G)leave (A)

(Tag)
It (D)hurts so (Em)much to (G)leave (A)
