[chorus]
G (A)
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you
Bm (A)
Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me
G (A)
Near death, last breath, and barely hanging on
Bm (A)
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
[verse two]
G A D G
Don't be so scared to take a second for reflection
A D
to take a leave of absence to see what you're made of
G A
So I'm selfish and you're sorry
D D
When I'm gone you'll be going nowhere fast
G A D
So who's selfish and who's sorry?
