=Verse 1=

D
The feeling starts to sink in, 
                       D5 E5 D5 C#5 D5
But it's beginning to rust,
G                                        Bm
Still hanging onto the things that we discussed,
                       A                 G 
But the point that was made isn't said and done...
        D
Now the sun shines so bright, but it won't shine for you, 
        G
You remind me of rain in July
                     Bm
And the gloom that I felt for a year, 
          A                            G
And the clouds are always shaped just like you
                      Em F#m G
But there's a parting light...

=Chorus=

D
I always told you that someday
                                 G
I would be packing my bags and I would be on my way,
D 
You always laughed in my face, 
And made the world seem so grey, 
                        G
Lay in the bed that you made
                  D
So I can finally say that I'm fine, 
You can just say "whatever,"
                              G
I won't change my mind 'cuz I know that I'm better off,
D
But I am cursed with a staircase wit, 
           G                                          Bm
Always find the words when it's too late to let them slip

=Bridge 1=

Bm                   D
Don't judge me on my bad habits, 
        Bm       G             D      
I could pick out every flaw of yours, 
                 G
And unearth all your imperfections.

Bm              G           Bm           
Beneath the surface I have seen,
Bm         G                       D 
The ugly truth behind the beauty queen...

=Chorus=

D
I always told you that someday
                                 G

D

And made the world seem so grey, 
                        G

                  D
So I can finally say that I'm fine, 
You can just say "whatever,"
                              G
I won't change my mind 'cuz I know that I'm better off,
D

           G                                          Bm
Always find the words when it's too late to let them slip

D
Held it back, 
Lost the nerve,
         G                      D
Was too scared to talk when you gave me your hand
         G
And you gave me your heart,
D                    A              G 
When you should have kept it to yourself
D                A             G
You should have kept it to yourself,
D             G      A       G 
I wish you'd kept it to yourself
