C                         
Am I the only one who sees

 right through this?

                     Em
where I wish I were strong

And maybe when you need my help,
                Fm
 I like myself when it’s over
                 F            
But later in the light, you go 
                     Fm
dark and rogue, and I need closure

[Pre-Chorus]
F               G   
And I know, whatever 
              Fm
this is ain’t love
   F
So I’m goin’
Fm
I’m gonna let you go, let you go
C              Em
I don’t need a reason
           F
To keep on dreamin’
     Fm
That we don't lose, 
yeah what’s the use?
C              Em
I don’t need a reason
F
To keep on dreamin’
     Fm            
That I can win this 
                     C
stupid thing called love

[Outro]
Em    C    Em    F    Fm    C
