——————————————————————————-

Created: June 22nd, 2007

Standard Tuning

♪ Capo can be used to adjust key for singing.

When I play, I like to transition from D to Dsus4 with a hammer on the high E

string. It’s not necessary, but it sounds better I think.

Intro:

=======

G G/f# Em7 Em7 x2

Verse 1:

=========

I never knew perfection ??til

G/f#

I heard you speak, and now it kills me

Just to hear you say the simple things.

Now waking up is hard to do

G/f#

And sleeping??s impossible too

Everything??s reminding me of you

What can I do?

Chorus:

========

G G/f#

It??s not right, not okay

Say the word that you’ll say

Maybe we??re better off this way

G G/f#

I??m not fine, I??m in pain

It??s harder everyday

Maybe we??re better off this way

It??s better that we break..

Verse 2:

=========

A fool to let you slip away

G/f#

I chase you just to hear you say

You??re scared and that you think that I??m insane

The city looks so nice from here

G/f#

Pity I can??t see it clearly

While you??re standing there, it disappears

It disappears

Chorus:

========

G G/f#

It??s not right, not okay

Say the word that you’ll say

Maybe we??re better off this way

G G/f#

I??m not fine, I??m in pain

It??s harder everyday

Maybe we??re better off this way

It??s better that we break up

Bridge:

========

Saw you sitting all alone

You??re fragile and you??re cold, but that??s all right

Life these days is getting rough

It knocks you down and beats you up

But it??s just a roller coaster anyway, yeah

Chorus:

========

G G/f#

It??s not right, not okay

Say the word that you’ll say

Maybe we??re better off this way

G G/f#

I??m not fine, I??m in pain

It??s harder everyday

Maybe we??re better off this way

G G/f#

It??s not right, not okay

Say the word that you’ll say

Maybe we??re better off this way

G G/f#

I??m not fine, I??m in pain

It??s harder everyday

Maybe we??re better off this way

It??s better that we break.. baby
