[Intro]
D C Bm Em A
D C
It was running through my mind, I was running out of time
Bm Em A
And it was time to let you go
D C
No more right or wrong, no more crying all night long
Bm Em A
Even though it's lonely here a- lone
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A G
When the phone rings I almost wish that it was you
Bm A Em A
There's nothing left to say and nothing we can do
[Chorus]
D Em G A
I can stand on my own two feet
D Em G A
And I know this is best for you and me
F#m Em F#m G A
Be- lieve me, it's not easy, I can feel the pain
D Em G A D
It hurts so much to leave, but not enough --- to stay
[Solo]
C Bm Em A
D C
You've con- vinced me before to come back for more
Bm Em A
Well, this time I'm not turning a- round
D C
I'm sure one more try is bound to end in goodbye
Bm Em A
And I've come too far to turn back now
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A G
I know the hardest part is over and I take a breath
Bm A Em A
Now we can look forward to better days a- head
[Chorus]
D Em G A
Oh, I can stand on my own two feet
D Em G A
And I know this is best for you and me
F#m Em F#m G A
Be- lieve me, it's not easy, I can feel the pain
D Em G A G
It hurts so much to leave, but not enough --- --- to stay
[Solo]
F#m G F#m Bm A/C# G A
[Chorus]
D Em G A
Oh, I can stand on my own two feet
D Em G A
And I know this is best for you and me
F#m Em F#m G A
Be- lieve me, it's not easy, I can feel the pain
D Em G A
It hurts so much to leave
D Em G A
It hurts so much to leave
D Em G A
Oh, it hurts so much to leave --- not enough --- to stay
[Outro]
