[Verse 1]
A                         
I wanna know about letting 
   Dm
go
G                         
Cutting all ties could be 
              Dm
beautiful, babe
A                           
Know you told me you'd never 
     Dm
call
   G                          
It pisses me off how you never 
       Dm
call, never call

[Pre Chorus]
A                       Dm    
Whoo, and I'll keep on selling 
         G
all my problems
                   Dm
And she'll be the one who 
buys them
A                 Dm        
Whoo, all of her love became 
     G
an album
                   Dm
And I'm still the one who's 
crying

[Chorus]
       A
And it sucks that I think 
about her
Dm                        
 'Cause thinking 'bout her 
           G
 leaves me lonely                         
(Leaves me lonely, leaves 
   Dm7    D7sus2 D5
me lonely)
         A
And it's not that I wanna 
suffer
Dm                         
 But thinking of her keeps 
    G
 me going                         
(Keeps me going, keeps me 
  Dm7  D7sus2 D5
going)

People change when you break
