[Verse 1]
    G                C    Em
the writing’s on the wall
        D
and the ink’s on my hands
G   C   Em   D
              G
and I’ve been trying
            C     Em
to put this off
      D
but I know that I can’t
G   C   Em   D

[Pre-chorus]
                G
and what do you do when
         C
it won’t work
                 Em
and where do you go when
        D
it just hurts
                G
and why does it always seem
   C           Em D
to end up just like this

[Chorus]
G            C
‘cus we both know
Em           D           G
that this is never gonna work
           C
and I just hope
Em           D                G
you find someone who puts you first
              C
who keeps you close
Em             D
who knows your heart
              G
and sees your worth
              C
who won’t let go
Em             D          G
cus oh, well I know you deserve
        C        Em D
someone so much better
     G           C         Em D
‘cus I’m someone who could never
come close

[Verse 2]
      G              C           Em
don’t tell me you’re surprised
       D
‘cus I know that you’re not
G   C   Em   D
        G         C           Em
I could see it in your eyes
         D                G
from the day that we started


[Pre-chorus]
                G            C
and what do you do when it’s okay
             Em             D
no reason to go but none to stay
               G
and somehow it always seems
   C               Em      D
to end up just like this
